As far as I know, DNS follows the standard RFC for domain name characters.

Thanks, seems like they are using the term 'invalid characters'

well, then is there any solutions to setup a DNS for an *invalid* record.

many thanks

Yes, it does. This is how you get it to work:

That does have a disclaimer on it about using it outside of a private
network. Deji, do you think it will work with what the poster has in mind?

thanks for the article.
this is really helpful for me, and i do need to set this up.

as i know that win2k *forgot the version* have a bug
that allow user can browse directory with the unicode bug
more clearly, is you enable web server in win2k
and hacker input this in URL
http://localhost/some_unicode_string
then they can list the directory.
does anyone know what i excalty talking about,
and do microsoft fix this bug in win2k3 ?

thanks

You mean this?

I believe that was fixed a couple years ago. Any exploits usually get ported
over to new versions. You'll have to go thru HFNetcheck or MBSA to find out
exactly which bulletin addressed this issue. You can also google with this
search phrase (which I did) to find more info on it:

Yes, this would work for what he's asking. Now, the disclaimer part is just
the same as we have today on the EDNS0 thingy. It is also the same with ehlo
and helo in SMTP. The unicode is RFC-complaint, but not everyone adheres to
RFC.

Now, on to my own disclaimer. I am NOT doing unicode in production. This
should not mean anything to anyone who needs to do it. I'm just saying my
experience with it is limited to PoC in lab and Virtual networks.
