Title: Domains starting with a digit
Post by: Christian Adler on January 18, 2012, 03:41:02 AM
Hi,

NicTool claims that domain names must start with a letter, but several registrys allow domain names starts with a digit (like .de).

The Zone.pm should be adjusted.....


Cheers
Christian

from RFC 1183

2.1  Host Names and Numbers

      The syntax of a legal Internet host name was specified in RFC-952
      [DNS:4].  One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the
      restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a
      letter or a digit.  Host software MUST support this more liberal
      syntax.

NicTool has been updated.
