[citation needed] In the examples listed above, the query for _telnet._tcp.host1.example for an MX record would match a wildcard despite the domain _tcp.host1.example existing. Microsoft's DNS server (if configured to do so [ 1 ] ) and MaraDNS (by default) have wildcards also match all requests for empty resource record sets; i.e., domain names ...
