There is no need to wait for the dedicated record. BIND does not have to
know the difference. If a subdomain has a TXT record, then BIND should
return that record only and not the wildcard record.
This would not work:
watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 ..."
**.watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 -all"
www.watkins.home.com. a 1.2.3.4
www.watkins.home.com. txt "My first web server!"
hot.watkins.home.com. a 1.2.3.5
hot.watkins.home.com. txt "v=spf1 a -all"
ftp.watkins.home.com. a 1.2.3.6
But this will work:
watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 ..."
**.watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 -all"
www.watkins-home.com. a 1.2.3.4
www.watkins-home.com. txt "My first web server!"
www.watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 -all"
hot.watkins-home.com. a 1.2.3.5
hot.watkins-home.com. txt "v=spf1 a -all"
ftp.watkins-home.com. a 1.2.3.6
