It's an illegal host name because it's got an underscore in it.
>From TnmValidateIpHostName() in generic/tnmUtil.c:

/*
* A host name must start with one of the characters [a-zA-Z0-9]
* and continue with characters from the set [-.a-zA-Z0-9] and
* must not end with a '.' or a '-'. Names that only contain
* digits and three dots are also not allowed.
