There are a lot of unfortunate practices one can find in DNS names. I'd
personally recommend not doing anything that conflicts with the RFC. At
my place of business, we slave a zone from a group that has underscores
in the hostnames which is also not allowed. It does not appear to hurt
anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if something funny happens someday
and is traced to that.
