More formally: "is a host/domain name with a trailing dot *actually a legal host name?No. See RFC 952In the case of URIs, RFC 2396 (circa 1998) seems to allow for it, if I read the ABNF for 'hostname' right in section 3.2.2. But that's the only place I see it.
Concur, unhappily. And at this point, we are *definitely* out-of-scope for NANOG. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R. Ashworth Baylink jra () baylink com Designer The Things I Think RFC 2100 Ashworth & Associates http://baylink.pitas.com 2000 Land Rover DII St Petersburg FL USA #natog +1 727 647 1274
