Well, technically, underscore is invalid in a "host name", and some 
ancient versions of BIND (like the buggy, insecure version you're using) 
actually try to enforce this restriction.

Upgrade. Later versions of BIND gave up trying to police hostname 
restrictions.

                                                                         
                                       - Kevin
