Well did you bother to inform the vendors that they are
handing out *bad* advice, got a illegal hostname. Did
you ask the vendor to fix the product defect?
If I got a piece of hardware that was designed to be connected
to a IP network and had a hard coded illegal hostname I
would be sending it back to be repaired or to get a refund.
