How to create a root zone??

Hi,
I'm trying to create an internal root zone for the wireless LAN. People
will always get the vpn concentrator or a website to download the
necessary software.
Unfortunately the 
*		IN	A	something.
doesn't work.
When browsing to *.nl addresses it says page not found, that's why we
added the *.nl. entry.
Just * is not enough.
But now browsing to blabla.uu.nl gives page not found, instead of the
website we intend them to go.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Here is the root zone file we made:



$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400
.			IN SOA	. root.uu.nl (
					2005051902
					28800
					7200
					604800
					86400
				)

.			IN NS	127.0.0.1

.			IN A	131.211.16.207
solisgate.uu.nl.	IN A	131.211.16.207
safegate.uu.nl.		IN A	131.211.0.34
safegate.uu.nl.uu.nl.	IN A	131.211.0.34
portal1.test.myuu.nl.	IN A	131.211.5.56

; Wildcard record to redirect all remaining names to 1 address. Whatever URL
; a user enters in his browser, he will always be redirected to the webserver
; running on the IP-address down here.
*			IN A	131.211.16.207
*.nl.			IN A	131.211.16.207
