Hostnames - Novell NETWARE 6-DOCUMENTATION Manual

Hostnames

Every host on your network that uses the Internet or that can be reached from
the Internet should have a name. Each resource record has a hostname field.
Some simple rules are required for hostnames for conformance to accepted
Internet standards. Hostnames are called labels and can have alphabetic and
numeric characters. A hyphen is allowed if it separates two character strings.
Labels might not be all numbers, but they can have a leading digit. Labels
must begin and end only with a letter or digit.
