* in a zone file ?

[RJHM van den Bergh]

Hi ,

I do have a question about the dns zone file.
I looked up the content of the domain I registered.

I did found an unknown RR configuration in the zone file.
 *                              A     212.204.192.3
What does that astrix (*) mean ?

I've soon have to setup my own domain server.
And I couldn't found it in my books or the dns howto.

Just curious
Thanks for a reply.
