According to Internet Draft 
"A DNS RR for specifying the location of services (DNS SRV)" at
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsind-rfc2052bis-02.txt, the
underscore '_' character is important in names which point to servers. The
next release of Kerberos from MIT will use this functionality, so any tool
which manipulates DNS zones should take this into consideration.
