Bind DNS server and wildcards

bind dns wildcards

[dreamscan]

Does anyone know how I can easily enable wildcards for domains through bind dns 9.2.1?

Zone file fragment:

*  IN  A  1.2.3.4 
  IN  HINFO "info about" "the server above" 
  IN  MX  mail 

That's a hypothetical set-up, but quite like one that I use. You could use a CNAME rather than an A record if you wanted, ditch the HINFO and/or MX records, etc. It's really quite simple. Just use an asterisk in the host name.
