Wildcard syntax

[andy thomas]

We are using BIND 9.3.0 and have been sent a zone file for a domain that 
was formerly hosted on a Windows DNS server. In it there are A records 
like:

 	*.dev	IN	A 	1D 	<IP address>
 	ww*	IN	A	1D	<IP address>

The first A record works fine but named refuses to reload if the second 
entry with the ww* is in it. What is the correct syntax for a ww* 
wildcard. or is this just not possible? There are a few hosts that would 
fit the ww* wildcard (ww2, etc) which we could put in as explicit A 
records instead.
