Non-terminal wildcards?

My mind boggles. I'm trying to figure out the effects of having ...

mail.*.doubletree.com.		IN		<something>
*.doubletree.com.		IN		<something else>
subdomain.doubletree.com.	IN NS		<subdomserver>

... and have the outer world query for mail.subdomain.doubletree.com,
but my brain refuses to attempt to do the calculation. ;-)

There is enough rope in BIND already. I pray this is an unexpected and
unwanted side effect.
