I was wondering if Sprint had any intention to fix thier hostnames on thier routers. Ever since upgrading the recent versions of Os's, the name resolveres no longer resolve names with '/'s in them. Ie: ... I can sympathize with Sprint's delay since my network has the same problem. On OSen which included this newer version of BIND for which I had source, I had to kinda "break" it to get name resolution until such time as people decide on a new naming schema.
I cannot sympathize with Sprint's delay. It has all along been documented what the valid characters were. Just get all the managers that want to have a say in what the new scheme will be, and lock them into a hotel room with food service, allowing them to leave only once they have have a concensus or relinquish their say in the matter. They can just substitute / for - in the mean time. And then, Sprint isn't the only culprit.
