XP updates breaking dash in domain names?

Hello list, Just recently I've stepped across a little weirdness. It seems that all of the sudden XP machines fail to resolve names containg an ascii character 0x2d or in other words "-". I.E name resolution for domains along the lines of one-example.com doesn't work. Last time I checked RFC921, 1033 hyphen was legal... Did anyone else got hit by this issue? Not that I use XP... The only way I was able to compensate for that was adding a static entry in system32\drivers\etc\hosts. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
