in reply to Syntactically check domain name/IP
No code offered, but the relevant rfc is Domain names - implementation and specification (rfc1035).
Now, this disallows 411.com, as each word in a domain name must start with a letter (not a digit). So what is valid in practice is clearly at variance with the spec.
Also this is a specification in flux at the moment with the introduction of internationalized domain names. (already available on the .jp tld).
