"_" is not a valid character for a hostname, so the FreeBSD resolver libraries refuse to deal with it. You will find that trying to telnet to the host from the FreeBSD box will result in it not being found either. The fix is to either hack your FreeBSD box so it understands names with underscores in (requires a source change) or you get them to fix their broken hostname and remove the "_". >Unformatted:
