Why do you find your behaviour in your domains acceptable and yetthe same behaviour in others zones to be "a Bad Thing" and should bestopped?Ok, devils advocate argument. Is there is a difference between being a domain "owner" (Patrick wanting to wildcard the domain he has paid for), and a domain "custodian" (Verisign for the .com example) in whether wildcards are ever acceptable in the DNS responses you provide?
I think this is spot on.In particular: Patrick, for some domains at least, can implement a wildcard with the full cooperation and agreement of all of the customers of sub-zones within his domain. Particularly if he doesn't resell any subdomains within it. Verisign cannot. [1]
[1] As a customer of .com, my own disagreement on this is sufficient to prove that they don't have unanimous agreement. :-)
