It's still to be seen if ISC's cure is worse than the disease; as instead of detecting and stoping wildcard sets, it looks for delegation.
that's because wildcard ("synthesized") responses do not look different on the wire, and looking for a specific A RR that can be changed every day or even loadbalanced through four /16's that may have real hosts in them seems like the wrong way forward.
See the NANOG archives for my post reguarding wildcard caching and set comparison with additional resolver functionality for requesting if the resolver wishes to receive wildcards or NXDOMAIN. -Jack
