If anybody allows it this is likely a side effect of not using the bind code base. I see no reason to diverge here. Plus, this could have unwanted effects. If somebody makes a mistake when specifying a host name a parameter might be mistaken for it. This might even be exploitable. So, no, this won't change. -- What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution| |INVALID http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4671 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
