There has been much debate about what characters can be in DNS. '_' is allowed by the software. The RFCs are less clear about what is allowed. At one point, '/' was a legal character, then it wasn't, then it was again. If anyone can provide a definitive answer I'd be very surprised, as far as I know there isn't a consensus.
