To reiterate the question posed by the original poster, (donning asbestos),
why is this bad?
If you use a "*" as a label for an NS record, you will answer with a
referral for any label. *Any* label, not just the ones for which you
completed the receiving end of the zone cut. Think of it as the
ultimate lame delegation.
