Silly DNS question

  Is an _ allowed in a DNS name?

  I didn't think so, and my home DNS proxy doesn't think so, but other
networks seem fine with it.

  Above is an example, where the image is stored by amazon at

  I sent Makerbot an email about the use of the _, but I just wanted
to make sure I wasn't wrong that _'s in a domain name aren't allowed,
as their reserved for special use.
