Hello all,

Is it possible to set a wildcard A record ("catch all") on a caching only name server?

The problem is that when the server gets a query for a domain that doesn't exist in its cache, the server will return the wildcard reply instead of checking the root servers first.

The name server is running BIND 9.
Can this be done without modifying the BIND code ?

Thanks in advance

After some more research I believe that this is impossible without modifying the BIND source code.

If anyone knows a better way please help...

Thanks
Idan
