[net-dns-users] Fwd: Bug report: Net::DNS::Zonefile fails to read escaped parenthesis

[Bob Harold]

"\" and "(" are invalid characters in DNS names.
See RFC 952 and 1123.

While it might be nice for Net::DNS::Zonefile to handle them, it is really
not necessary.
So I would consider this an odd feature request, not a bug.
