nsd users - Aug 2004 - syntax error in MX record

Here's one that worked in NSD 1 but breaks in NSD 2:

@ 12h IN MX 0 @

It seems that the check on valid characters for the target host name for
the MX doesn't include the "@".  I wonder if it works for
".".  I worked
around this for now.

yep, that doesn't work...

Currently the zone compiler only matches ^@. Matching a lonely @
isn't too hard though (I think). I will post a patch tomorrow (CEST),

here is a patch against 2.1.2. This should add the usage of @ in the
rdata of any type. I only tested it MX and NS,
