Domain names can be presented with a trailing dot.    A fully
qualified domain always contains at least one explicit dot.

The rightmost domain label of 3com.net.  is      "NET";  which does
not start with a digit, so that domain name is OK.

Although "3com.net"  would not be a valid hostname;  as a DNS name, it is fine.
