The resolver?
On MirBSD:
Looking up running_on_alcohol.tripod.com
Unable to locate remote host running_on_alcohol.tripod.com.
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.
lynx: Can't access startfile http://running_on_alcohol.tripod.com/id4.html
1|address@hidden:~ $ host -v running_on_alcohol.tripod.com
Query about running_on_alcohol.tripod.com for record types A

The following answer is not authoritative:
running_on_alcohol.tripod.com 1754 IN A 209.202.226.100

So I suppose the usage of underscores is not really allowed,
which is what Stef already told us about.
Oh yeah, I still have djbdns:
address@hidden:~ $ dnsip running_on_alcohol.tripod.com
209.202.226.100
I guess we should be looking that up in the RFCs, and then
possibly file a bug against the BSD libcs' resolvers, and
maybe check with the BIND people (at least for BIND 4, which
is said to have the same resolver - I don't use BIND, so I
don't know). Lynx' side is fine, as I saw on Win2k here.
bye,
