than you need the subdomains in own zone-files and don't delegate them 
in the public view

BTW: stop talking about "be resolved from 8.8.8.8" when the terminology 
is private and public views

The problem I am fscing is the wildcard is forwarding anything towards the the IP ( example , "cc.bb." which is not a vaild subdomain). How can I limit that so it will only forwards ( bb.aa.example.com) and drops any invalid subdomains ( cc.bb.aa.example.com ).
