$GENERATE and MX records

We just started to convert to $GENERATE as well (makes our conversion to BT/INS appliances easier ... or possible ...).

AFAIK, $GENERATE can only do certain record types and I don't think MX is one.  A and PTR, yes, but only a few others.

Wildcard records are only visible if there is no other data at that
label.  You will need two generate statements.
