There's an underscore in the hostname, which isn't permitted by
some RFCs. I believe the resolver library filters out hostnames
with odd characters in them.

I made sure both NS1 and NS2 where configured correctly in resolve.conf
and it is still not working.
It has to be in the resolver because windows pulls it from the same
NS's.
That is kind of a bummer that it won't resolve.

Thanks.
