There are different rules for hostnames (something with an A record)
and other records in DNS. Hostnames have restrictions, but basically
anything goes for other records (except upper case ASCII matches lower
case ASCII). Windows looks up SRV records (using a standard actually,
this isn't a Microsoft-only thing.)
