which explains domains like 3com.net. the trailing dot is not illegal.
Domain names can be presented with a trailing dot. A fully qualified domain always contains at least one explicit dot. The rightmost domain label of 3com.net. is "NET"; which does not start with a digit, so that domain name is OK. Although "3com.net" would not be a valid hostname; as a DNS name, it is fine.
