I am not sure if this is a bug, we could replace the dot(s) in the host name with a different char, for example a "_" but then the user will lose the option to define a hostname as a FQDN.
And according to the rfc952:
' A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
   to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
   sign (-), and period (.).  Note that periods are only allowed when
   they serve to delimit components of "domain style names"'
So if the user uses a period it should know that it is allowed only to delimit a domain name and it has to be a valid one.
I am going to mark it as invalid, please let me know if you are not happy about this decision.

Title:
  Invalid input for dns_name when spawning instance with .number at the
  end

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When attempting to deploy an instance with a name which ends in dot
  <number> (e.g. .123, as in an all-numeric TLD) or simply a name that,
  after conversion to dns_name, ends as .<number>, nova conductor fails
  with the following error:

  This throws one instance of the infamous Horizon message: Error: No
  valid host was found. There are not enough hosts available.

  
  This issue was observed using stable/mitaka via DevStack (nova commit fb3f1706c68ea5b58f05ea810c6339f2449959de).

  In the above example, the instance name is "networking-ovn (Ubuntu
  16.04)", which resulted in an attempted dns_name="networking-ovn-
  ubuntu-16.04", where the 04 was interpreted as a TLD and,
  consequently, an invalid TLD.
