Public bug reported: I am unable to configure the IPMI/BMC hostname on 2 of my nodes. And magically I see 2 hosts in the DNS records page on MAAS gui with the same hostname called 'BMC dhcp' with a space in it. Does MAAS add these hostnames when they are empty? Of course BIND will crash when it sees a space in the domain name.. is there a way to remove the dns records on the UI, or it could be better if maas fixed these before saving it in the zone file. I tried to remove the entries in the zone files but they are populating again from the db I think. And because bind cannot restart whole the DNS system is down, cannot apt-get update etc..
