No it can't be done with BIND. Very lame. It would be a big asset to

I support using AS112 for that. Great way to reduce the error traffic
at root-servers.net.
wildcards can't be cname's or ns's. (of the many important reasons why
the suggestion is terrible, that's the first/simplest that comes to mind.)
Actually no. That is not correct. I did some experimentation using
BIND 8 and 9 as root servers. BIND 8 does not support
*. CNAME some.host.name.
But BIND 9 does.
I know it sounds terrible to you but I think the RFC is flexible on
that. Your the expert - you look into it. So it would be so nice if I
could under BIND 9 do:
*. NS some.host.name.
Paul - make it so. It would really cut down on root traffic and we
could use AS112 as the garbage can of bin bucket heaven. Be a sport -
push the buttons and make it so.

P.S. Alot of servers already wildcard *. NS back to the IANA servers.
