>Description:
	Host names may not contain '_'.  However, we will resolve them;
	a case in point is 'lion_internet.lion.com.my'.  This is a Bad Thing,
	because it encourages people to use incompatible host names.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Do nslookups on hosts with invalid names.
>Fix:
	The resolver should reject such hostnames, rather than looking them
	up.
