Bug ID: 22409
Summary: res_hnok does not accept some host names used on the
Internet
Product: glibc
Version: 2.26
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: network
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
www-.example.com and _www.example.com fail the res_hnok check because -/_ are
only accepted in the middle of labels. I don't think this is desirable, and we
have received bug reports that web sites become unreachable as a result of this
check.
This issue is slightly different from bug 12154 and needs to be fixed
separately.
