Name resolution problem for bio.wss.bcentral.com

Subject:	Name resolution problem for bio.wss.bcentral.com

Dear All:
My Trend Viruswall proxy on Solaris 8 is not able to connect to the server
bio.wss.bcentral.com eventhough name resolution happens and there is no
connectivity issue.

I could see that bio.wss.bcentral.com is actually a CNAME for
*.sharepoint.bcentral.com. I feel the connectivity issue is due to having '
* ' in address record of the site.

Having ' * ' in address records is accepted one? or is that a non-standard
DNS entry?

V:\>nslookup
Default Server: xxxx
Address: x.x.x.x

> bio.wss.bcentral.com
Server: xxxx.
Address: x.x.x.x

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: *.sharepoint.bcentral.com
Address: 207.68.165.26
Aliases: bio.wss.bcentral.com

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Regards,

M V Ajay
