Scott,

I do not know - this has never ever been tested. If it does not work, it
can screw up things really bad for EVERYBODY in the network.

So: No, only alphanumeric characters are allowed in domain names and
lonIds.

NO dashes or other specials chars, not even "_" - how's that for playing
it safe? Please do!

- Gerd.
