Well, you haven't given us any details on how your nameservice is 
configured as far as name resolution "inside" your network versus name 
resolution "outside" your network, so it's impossible to know how to 
meet your requirements. Given your original problem description -- "... 
have all non-existant [sic] addresses from given domain pointing to 
specified ip" -- one of the above approaches should have worked. Perhaps 
you should give some examples of lookups you expected to be wildcarded 
but weren't, or did not expect to be wildcarded but were, when you 
tested the two approaches above.
