Bind to Bind DNS Lookup - Returns wildcard value for defined A record

[Greg Choules]

Real data please:
- example queries (genuine, not invented for illustration)
- real domains
- real IP addresses
- packet captures
- both BIND server configs
- zone file contents
- startup logs

There are so many things it *could* be, the more information the better.

Cheers, Greg
