Hey, that won't work. Underscore is not a legitimate character in a
hostname.

I'm serious about this, by the way. It may appear to work sometimes with
some software, but since it's not actually legal, there are a lot of
situations in which it won't. For example, it breaks the extremely popular
squid proxy cache.
