Should hostname always be lower case?



List,

May I ask whether the 'case' of the hostname is important, in the sense that use of any upper-case characters may disrupt name resolvers?

We have a server running wheezy, and we named it D7Server (not d7server). Could this matter to any resolver attempting to look up D7Server? (It might matter, for example, if standards allow resolvers, generally, to assume that names to be resolved will be lower case.)

regards, Ron
