Have you tried it? It works fine with a . for me from about four
different telnet packages I just tried. (About the only thing I
didn't try was a mac).
There is nothing wrong with putting a "." at the end of a domain
name. Most packages take it as "do not append any default domain
names"... You only have to be sure that it is used only with
a FQDN...
