PHP *cannot* resolve a domain name containing an underscore. In fact there's quite a lot of things PHP can't do with DNS lookups, but this one's more of a 'gotcha' than the rest.

See: http://www.infinitepenguins.net/SPF/dnstest.php to interact with this particular problem.

I know that there's some debate over the validity of underscores in names, and that some RFC appears to OK it, but this would appear to be one lookup implementation that doesn't support it, and I don't suspect it's the only one out there.

Furthermore I seem to have killed the zone file for phase.org by trying to add names containing _'s (so if anyone's got bounces from me today, or has failed to get a reply, this may be why).

I'm not sure whether this was in fact the cause, but, has anyone else using BIND (8 in my case, I think) got _names working?

Meng - are you using Bind or tinydns?
