Well, it's a good question :-) Anyway, we are unlikely to change this stuff until it gets annoying for ousrselves, sorry. On the other note - MHO is it was a Bad Idea to put these checks into the resolver library. No objections towards having it as an option in the code for primary zones in name servers, though.

Hi Dima,
Since you are from Sprint and we're talking about DNS... When does Sprint plan to fix the slashes, "/", in the names for your router interfaces? Newer resolver libraries refuse to return hostnames with invalid characters.
This obviously isn't a critical issue, but it is annoying when none of the Sprint hops in a traceroute resolve to a name.
Thanks.
