Bind Redirect zone

mgaudette

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!!!
