To add to the story, I added a rule to our DNS administration
system that we'll only allow hostnames that include
at least one alphabetic.

So 10.14.22.11 is a legal hostname, right?
We had a recent experience where our DNS administration
system allowed someone to insert in a CNAME record that
resembled this:
www.example.com. CNAME 10.14.22.11.
A fascinating thing about this is that my computer/browser could
take me to www.example.com just fine.

From RFC 1123
One aspect of host name syntax is hereby changed: the
restriction on the first character is relaxed to allow either a
letter or a digit. Host software MUST support this more
liberal
syntax.

A label must start with a letter? oh I don't think so.
How about these domains which all have huge DNS traffic?
163.com
126.com
51.com
56.com
yes 163.com is a domain name but "163" also can be treated as a
label for
domain "com.", is it?
Thanks.
