Hello,
    I want to know whether underscore "_" character should be supported in hostname syntax. Should it be relative of whether an OS say HP-UX,Windows.. support it or not. Is there any rfc which takes care of this scenario. I've  referred rfc 952, 1123 and 3490 for this, but was not convinced.
Thanks,
Vijay.
