Wildcard zone

Hi,

I need to create a wildcard zone, kind of like Sitefinder.  I can't seem 
to make bind 9 accept this.  Following is the contents of my named.conf:

options {
         directory "/etc/namedb";
}

zone "*" {
         type master;
         file "wildcard.zone";
};

And here's the contents of wildcard.zone:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns.wildcardtest.34sp.com. hostmaster.34sp.com. (
         1
         10800
         3600
         604800
         86400
         )
    IN NS   ns.wildcardtest.34sp.com.

*   IN A    192.168.0.2
ns  IN A    192.168.0.1

On running named, I get the following through syslog

named[55848]: starting BIND 9.2.2
named[55848]: using 1 CPU
named[55848]: loading configuration from '/etc/namedb/named.conf'
named[55848]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953
named[55848]: command channel listening on ::1#953
named[55848]: dns_master_load: wildcard.zone:9: *: invalid NS owner name 
(wildcard)
named[55848]: zone */IN: loading master file wildcard.zone: invalid NS 
owner name (wildcard)

I've fiddled around in the zone file a lot and can't find where the 
problem lies - anyone got any ideas?
