Wildcards?

[Jason Brown]

HI all

I wanted to add a wild card of www.* within my domain, but it doesnt work,
an nslookup for www.anything.karoo.net should have shown a result of CNAME
brownbear, but instead it cannot resolve it.
A nslookup of www.*.karoo.net does show a result of CNAME brownbear. why
didnt it work?

I did get around this by just adding:
*                                                   28800   CNAME
brownbear

Within my zone file. This works but not as I wanted it!!! why didnt www.*
work?

Snippet of other entries within my zone:
