Using Wild card in DNS record for subdelegation

[VSSS]

Hi,
    I am using Bind 8.3.4. 

    Is there a way to delegate of all 3rd level domains to a name
server without creating NS entries for all the 100 3rd level domains
like below :
            
In the  zone file of db.def.com

domain1     IN NS    svr1.def.com
domain2     IN NS    svr2.def.com
domain3     IN NS    svr3.def.com
....
...
domain100  IN NS svr3.def.com

Can I use wild card to save entering all the 100 domain describe above
?


Many thanks
