Uhm, that's a hostname, but yes, FreeBSD doesn't like it. Windows is
okay with it, however.

http://www.crynwr.com/crynwr/rfc1035/rfc1035.html#2.3.1.
However explains why this hostname is not allowed. FreeBSD is not violating
RFC.

It should be noted that the dns server that my workstation queried is running
FreeBSD and has no trouble _serving_ hostnames with an underscore.
