Unless this was updated in another RFC that means apache shouldn't even
support subdomains in virtual hosts, and say goodbye to the .co.uk tld!
No, the *[ ... ] syntax means an arbitrary number of the thing in the
brackets.
I think we can write this off as confusion due to the apache
documentation and say this is an actual bug and ServerName is supposed
to take domainnames
I don't think underscores in domain names are allowed in general. But I know
that they are in are in wide use. So maybe there should be an exception or an
explicit knob to allow them.
A workaround is
HTTPProtocolOptions unsafe
