Creating a Catch-Everything Catch-All

[Stefan Puiu]

Please try searching this list's archives just as ferociously, I follow it

In fact, somebody just asked about it:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bind-users&m2956930209233&w=2

An older thread with some suggestions:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bind-users&m1404604013643&w=2

Just search the archives (http://marc.theaimsgroup?l=bin-users) for
"wildcard domain".
