+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #460800 +++

Description of problem:
From tech-list:
"btw, the root cause is the webform on rhn.redhat.com that is used for  
> setting up proxies.  it originally didn't let me put in a '-' in the  
> hostname, even though '-' is a perfectly valid character to put in  
> hostnames.   i would have liked to put in tur-cache1, with the port  
> 8080.  since it didn't let me do that i ended up (in frustration) just  
> putting in turcache1 and missed out the port.  then i just hand edited  
> /etc/rhn/rhn.conf with the correct info.  however that was ages ago, and  
> after this upgrade it looks like what i had originally entered in the

I checked it and it really do not allow such scenarion.
The problem is in 
web/modules/rhn/RHN/Form/Require.pm
in function fqdn_and_port, which has this regexp:
  if ($text =~ /([^a-zA-z0-9\.-:])/) {
The problem is in  ".-:", correct should be:
  if ($text =~ /([^a-zA-z0-9\.:-])/) {
