one record to be redirected to a specific IP

[Sten Carlsen]

I wonder if the following could be done:

- make the zone for www.abcd.com, which would also redirect the
"anything else" part.
- delegate the "anything else" back to its original owner.

like:

www.abcd.com.   soa ....
@     IN   A    1.2.3.4
*       NS    <original servers>

I am not sure this could work? I am not sure how this redelegation would
be seen by the original servers of the zone?
