Title: Unable to Add a new domain "Zone failed validation test."
Post by: phelenius on March 17, 2014, 11:27:09 PM

Hello I just tried adding my new domain to HE DNS and got the following error.

Zone failed validation test. (141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.sexy)

Any clue what validation test this is failing?

I have four guesses for what might cause software to reject that as an invalid domain:

Checking TLD against an outdated list of all valid TLDs
Using the first character to distinguish between IP address and domain name.
Checking the length of the domain name against the maximum length of a label (63) instead of against the maximum length of a domain name (255).
Off-by-one error in checking label length against maximum permitted length.

Also, why does the value returned have the first 63 digits of the fractional part of pi?
