Changing output of bind

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Thanks for clearing things up.

I believe you can use a "wildcard" entry in your zone file - search the 
lists/Internet, but I'm sure you can set a wildcard so if a domain isn't 
found, the wildcard'd record will be returned.
However I've never implemented this so don't know where to start; others 
on the list will.
