Title: Bug List for NG

: First bug, can't create Domain Objects that begin with a numeric value (i.e.3com.com).

: Can't find it documented anywhere. Works fine in VPN-1/FW-1 4.1 SP5...

Just a side note: The domain 3com.com is per rfc not a valid domain name as it starts with a numeric character. Most dns implementations however supports numeric values as the first character and most people are able to access it without any problems.

From rfc 952:

[....]No distinction is made between upper and lower case. The first character must be an alpha character. The last character must not be a minus sign or period.[....]

I'm not sure if this rfc spec has been updated with a newer rfc to allow numeric characters.

Lars
