// IsDomainName checks if s is a valid domainname, it returns

// domain name is considered valid, in this case the last label is counted in

// string is a valid domain name as the DNS is 8 bit protocol. It checks if each
// label fits in 63 characters, but there is no length check for the entire
// string s. I.e. a domain name longer than 255 characters is considered valid.
