Two questions:

1) Why are you asking about a non-BIND server in the BIND group?  Aren't
   there zillions of microsoft newsgroups?  If there isn't one appropriate
   for this, how about the DNS newsgroup comp.protocols.tcp-ip.domains?

2) What's the "proper way"?  Although BIND implements wildcard CNAME
   records and even embedded wildcards (foo.*.domain), I can't find
   anything in the DNS RFC's that suggests that they're supposed to work.
   In particular, if you follow the algorithm in section 5.3.3 of RFC 1034,
   they should be ignored.
