System: Red Hat 6.0

Version: Bind 8

Problem:  Special Characters

Description:

We are implementing dns on this red hat box.
Some computer names on this existing network
have "underscore" characters (_) in their host
name.  Is it possible to use underscore characters
in this version of bind.

We have added these computer names as A records
and as CNAME records.  An nslookup on these names and
ip addresses do not give a result.

Can this work.

Thank you in advance.
