One with a "*".

That just happens to be a real machine, whose CNAME is construct.nic.cc.
Perhaps that machine catches all odd addresses for the Cocos [Keeling]
Islands, country code CC.

$origin	cc
*	IN  A	206.253.214.23

Hmmm.  Commercial name servers.

Trying REAL garbage, I get:

*** ns.cospo.osis.gov can't find oqewjfbqewfnbqlnwin.nfcwoeiunfweunf: Non-existent domain
