This is a case where there would be an advantage to an SPF RR, you
could then just wildcard it into the subzones.

But you can still do this with a synthentic record, it just won't
cache.

so suppose domain.com publishes SPF.

but workstation.domain.com does not.

right now SPF tells you to publish an SPF record for every single
subdomain that has either A or MX.  but that's yucky.

but if we add a match_subdomains modifier to domain.com's record, we
can allow subdomain lookups and the problem is solved!

what do people think?

domain.com IN TXT "v=spf1 -all match_subdomains=1"
