17 * The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952
18 * [DNS:4]. One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the

20 * letter or a digit. Host software MUST support this more liberal
21 * syntax.
22 *
23 * Host software MUST handle host names of up to 63 characters and
24 * SHOULD handle host names of up to 255 characters.
