I think a hostname shoule be consist of [A-Z] [a-z] [0-9] "-" and "."
following to the DNS standard.  Underscore "_" should be reserved to
represent some non-hostname like a service name or a protocol name
as in RFC2782.
But at least, it might have to be tolerant to such usage of underscores
in a hostname (which was disabled in DeleGate/9.2.0).
So I'll re-enable it with a modification like the enclosed patch.

Cheers,
Yutaka
