Wildcard DNS error

Hello everyone. Its my first post on Webmaster World.

I am having problems with wildcard DNS configured. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

Wildcards are setup as:

Addition to named file
*.mydomain.com14400IN A11.11.11.11

Subdomains are verified by a php script, that looks up information in database, if none it sends the user to www.mydomain.com.

The problem is evertime a new entry is made into the database, latestitem.mydomain.com is created. When trying to access new item the Bind Server haults some times, and it shuts off entire bind server. I have been having to restart DNS every few new entries are made.

The server has cpanel installed.

I did some research, here is what I found:

* Taking off default www/ftp/mail entries from named file did not help.
* Someone suggested giving the site its own IP, which I haven't tried yet.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciate.
