Description

We have awfully long domain names. Foreman seems to not like it either

 x PG::Error: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(32) : INSERT INTO "domains" ("created_at", "name", "updated_at", "dns_id", "fullname") VALUES ('2012-09-25 06:44:44.616460', 'beryllium.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.redhat.com', '2012-09-25 06:44:44.616460', 1, 'beryllium.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.redhat.com') RETURNING "id"

I already seen some issues of this sort with another DB column. I would vote to review the limits. Or should 32 characters be enough for everybody?

According to wikipedia:

Each label may contain up to 63 characters. The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 characters in its external dotted-label specification. In the internal binary representation of the DNS the maximum length requires 255 octets of storage.

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System#Domain_name_syntax )

So I think changing it to 253 characters should fix it.
