Wildcards

Older versions of the Microsoft DNS Server only accept wildcard MX
records.  My partner Matt complained about that, and Microsoft came out
with a special that would allow arbitrary wildcards.  I believe that was
right after SP3.  I'd hope that the servers since SP3 would allow wildcards
for any record type, but I haven't verified that.
