Uuuhm, since when did underscores become legal in DNS-land? Or are
some administrators of DNS servers just showing their ignorance? And
why are they running DNS servers that allow that kind of brokenness at
all?

A MUCH better solution to the problem would be to whack the maintainer
of the rogue domain with a hefty Clue-By-Four or a large-print,
hard-bound version of RFC1035.
