RE: [squid-users] DNS Domain error on http://www.acer.co.in

Hi,

I compile squid2.4STABLE1 and have --enable-underscores in my configure
file.
I am using old dnsserver.......
Still, I can not get to www.acer.co.in. I am getting the same error message.
"DNS Domain in invalid"
Please advise,

Thanks,
Nooshin

P.S.
In order to activate enable-underscore, I added a comment to if statements.
#if test "${enable_underscores+set}" = set; then
# enableval="$enable_underscores"
# if test "$enableval" = "yes" ; then
    echo "Enabling the use of underscores in host names"
    cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF
#define ALLOW_HOSTNAME_UNDERSCORES 1
EOF

# fi

#fi

A guess:

> host www.acer.co.in
www.acer.co.in is a nickname for WEB_FTP.acer.co.in
WEB_FTP.acer.co.in has address 202.144.86.89

Underscore is not (according to most people) a valid character for domain
names.

My guess is that one of your DNS resolvers enforces this restriction.
