Firstly legal hostnames are restricted to 'A'-'Z', 'a'-'z', '0'-'9',
'-' and '.'. If you choose "hostnames" outside of this nothing is
guaranteed to work. Applications (libraries) do check that where
a hostname is expected the answer is a legal hostname.
check-names can be used to disable the checks.
