It appears that the most reliable way to detect a wildcard response for 'somedomain.tld' is to query for '*.tld'; if the results match, then 'somedomain.tld' doesn't really exist.
Just make up a number of fake domains and resolve them. If they return the same answer, thats the answer to change back into NXDOMAIN.
