Title: example matches doesn't match ...

Comment:
The match for 1host-2._ldap.domain.com doesn't work out because of the negative look ahead for \d+\. which this matches and thus makes the pattern fail.

I couldn't remember my username or password so I could properly update the expression. (?=^.{1,254}$)(^(?:(?!\d+\.|-)[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]{1,63}(?<!-)\.?)+(?:[a-zA-Z]{2,})$)

Labels in domains cannot start or end with hyphens. This expression will return a match for a-.com when it should not.
