Handling subdomain ?

[Kevin Darcy]

Huh? RFC 1034, Section 4.3.2, Step 3(c):


> [...]
>
> If the "*" label does exist, match RRs at that node
>             against QTYPE.
>
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

>   If any match, copy them into the answer
>             section, but set the owner of the RR to be QNAME, and
>             not the node with the "*" label.  Go to step 6.
