zone begins with number

I currently run Bind 9 on my external dns servers. I need to create
a zone that begins with a number. Unfortunately, Bind9 does not
allow me to do this in the current configuration. Upon attempting
to create, I get a message that says "Poor DNS Name" and it lets me go no further.
One need only go so far as www.3com.com <http://www.3com.com/ to
see that you can in fact make them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Try servers

84.22.100.13
84.22.100.150

for domains "101", "1-1", "101.1-1" and "1-1.101".

Yes, you can send me email to peter@mail.101.


Works with windows and linux. BSD is told be behave somewhat different.
MAC OS X? I heard no complaints.

This is an experiment of the Public-Root. The toplevel domains "1-1"
and "101" will be given back to their owner when the experiment is
finished. :)

Which is also invalid according to RFC 1123. All numeric TLD's
are reserved.

If it works with toplevel domains it should work for your domains too.
