      Hello,

      I've been trying to setup a redirect zone on bind - I want to send all request for *.testdomain.com to a particular NS.

      In theory it seems very simple, but I can't make it work using the pfSense UI. I use "." (no quotes) as the zone name, I set the views correctly, I out in a A entry such as:

      *.testdomain.com      SOME.INS.P.ADDRESS

      But when I do restart bind, I get the following in my logs:

      Nov 8 14:38:29	named	15548	general: critical: exiting (due to fatal error)
      Nov 8 14:38:29	named	15548	general: critical: loading zones: empty label
      Nov 8 14:38:29	named	15548	general: error: redirect-zone/pfSense: not loaded due to errors.
      

      I'm not sure what label is supposedtly empty. Is is the resulting zone config file that the UI has generated with my config

      $TTL 300
      ;
      $ORIGIN ..
      
      ;	Database file ..DB for . zone.
      ;	Do not edit this file!!!
      ;	Zone version 0
      ;
      @	 IN  SOA 22.33.44.55\. 	 root.somedomain.com. (
      		0 ; serial
      		3600 ; refresh
      		600 ; retry
      		86400 ; expire
      		3600 ; default_ttl
      		)
      
      ;
      ; Zone Records
      ;
      @ 	 IN NS 	22.33.44.55.
      @ 	 IN A 	22.33.44.55
      @ 	 IN NS  	.
      *.testdomain.com 	 IN A  	192.168.5.6
