Publish a record at the zone level. If no other record exists, use that. If that record doesn't exist, stop. This is a cheap form of wildcarding. it requires at most two queries, which while unpleasant for some purists avoids people having to deal with wildcards, which themselves are a pain.


Given that zones are administrative constructs for use by operators, and are not intended to be visible to client DNS activities -- and well might not be visible, no matter the intent -- then how does the upward tree-walk know when to stop?
