I don't think you understand what I'm asking. There is no ZONE to put
it in. It doesn't exist. I need a "wildcard" zone or some config
change that will respond to anything if asked with an IP that I give.
Again, let's say you point your domain to my servers... they won't
respond because I am not the SOA for your domain... now let's say I
make some magic change to my DNS servers to respond with an IP, even
though I'm not the SOA. Is this possible??
