Let's give this sentence some context. <quote> ASSUMPTIONS 1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when they serve to delimit components of "domain style names". (See RFC-921, "Domain Name System Implementation Schedule", for background). </quote> No mention there of a hostname having to be the first component of a "name". The succeeding RFC to this definition is in RFC1123 which states the hostname can be up to 255 characters and begin with a number. No other mention of the first component of the name being the hostname. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
