Hi Koh-ichi,

This is an interpretation problem in RFC4034 6.2(3).

A workaround is to give your HINFO in lowercase:
	HINFO "vmware" "freebsd"

Unbound lowercases all text in the rdata of HINFO records before
verification.  Because that is what I believe RFC4034 6.2(3) means.

Other software (ldns, bind) does not lowercase HINFO rdata, it seems.
It would be prudent to find a common interpretation.  Something for
dnsext, already posted there.

Of course putting up a lowercase HINFO entry is against RFC1010, which
mandates all uppercase, and only - and /.  Also the first word is the
CPU and second OS. Thus,
	HINFO "INTEL-CORE-I7-920" "FREEBSD-7-0"
This would be appropriate use according to RFC1034/1035.

However the strings do not appear in the allowed list in
http://www.iana.org/assignments/machine-names
http://www.iana.org/assignments/operating-system-names
so, 	HINFO "INTEL-386" "FREEBSD"

however, due to the interpretation problems in RFC4034 you are not
guaranteed DNSSEC verification unless you put this in lowercase,
	HINFO "intel-386" "freebsd"

Best regards,
   Wouter
