in plugins/utils.c

/* from RFC-1035

* The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must
* start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior
* characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some
* restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less. */

int is_hostname(char *s1)
{

...
if
(strcspn(s1,"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWVXYZ0123456789-.")!=0)
return FALSE;
/* add a 3 to the string if you really want it to pass */

the is_hostname function returns false if the hostname does _not_ start
with a letter.

You will have to either

. hack this function

. or install a CNAME eg my-beautiful-3Com ... in your DNS


I am rather suprised (being quite thick) that your DNS resolves 3-Com..

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'

from Meditation 17, J Donne.
