Clarification on wildcard scenario

[rams]

Hi,
I have zone as follows in bind.

$ORIGIN joshfeb1.com.
@ IN SOA rboddeti.yahoo.com. rboddeti.gmail.com. (
                                2011013101 ; serial
                                10800 ; refresh
                                3600 ; retry
                                2592000 ; expire
                                86400 ; minimum
                                )
joshfeb1.com. NS udns1.ultradns.net.
joshfeb1.com. NS udns2.ultradns.net.
**.joshfeb1.com A 1.1.1.1
*.www.joshfeb1.com A 2.2.2.2*

When I queried domain "www.joshfeb1.com. A" against Bind, I am getting
NXDOMAIN.When can i get records in response. Could you please clarify me.

The following response return.

*[root at zones]# dig  abc.www.joshfeb1.com. A*
