Chris mentioned it before but there seemed to be some confusion, if you actually have a hostname in the list this is ignored by the wildcard entry, taking the above example and adding server.domain.com domain.com. NS name.server.1. domain.com. NS name.server.2. domain.com. MX 10 mail.server.1. domain.com. A 111.111.111.111 *.domain.com. A 222.222.222.222 server.domain.com A 333.333.333.333 server.domain.com will only point to 333.333.333.333 and not the wildcard IP Paul Willis
