Method 1: Modify BIND 8's default name checking from 'fail'
to 'warn', e.g.,
options {
...
check-names master warn;
Method 2: Get the underscores out of your canonical names. If your
infrastructure expects to find such domain names, put the
underscores into CNAMEs instead, e.g.,
c292mjt-1.bellsouth.co.nz. A x.x.x.x
c292mjt_1.bellsouth.co.nz. CNAME c292mjt-1.bellsouth.co.nz.
The second method is better because your DNS data will interoperate
with the Internet with fewer problems.
