According to all the reference books, there are good reasons to not use
wildcards.  If you really need to use wildcards, first read and
understand the caveats in "DNS and Bind" (O'Reilly), then do it
manually... but to do it you'll probably have to completely abandon the
RaQ4 interface for DNS.  We, and lots of other companies like us can do
it for you, but it's probably less expensive to have another company
(us?) just handle all your DNS for any domains that have the
requirement.  We do NOT use the RaQ interface, so we can do it if
required.
