RE: [Bigsister-general] Names with "_"

Please excuse me for not digging in to the code like I should, but is this a
protocol or a storage issue?

I'm afraid that Big Brother does not suffer from the same problem since
Big Brother uses "," for encoding dots in host names rather than "_".
At some place I decided to use "_" - do not ask me why, it was certainly
a bad choice. Probably we should revert to "," too ... unfortunately this
implies performing some migration operations on existing installations 
during next upgrade.
