Subject: For Your Information: Critical changes to nameservers.

        hostmaster_at_frodo.nask.org.pl,

        This is a automated mailing. You have received this as you are
        the zone contact for 225.102.192.in-addr.arpa.

        This notice is being sent once per zone. Can you please forward
        this to the administrators of the child zones for the zones you
        administer, if any.

        The next minor release of BIND nameserver will be enforcing
        RFC952 (as modified by RFC1123) hostname conformance as part of
        its SECURITY measures. Following its release hostnames that
        fail to conform to these rules will be unreachable from sites
        running these servers.

        Hostnames (A records) are restricted to the following characters only.

            "A" - "Z", "a" - "z", "0" - "9", "." and "-"

        The following characters are specifically excluded "_" and "/".

        We are letting you know in advance so as to minimise the
        problems this will cause.

        If the specified zone has any records that don't meet the above
        criteria, then any attempts for resolution of the name will
        fail. If your zone is pristine, then consider this a heads
        up notice when other zones start failing to resolve names.

        For a full description of what is allowed in a hostname please
        read RFC952 and RFC1123.

        RFC952: DOD INTERNET HOST TABLE SPECIFICATION, October 1985
        RFC1123: Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Application and
                        Support, October 1989
