Hi Fernando,
This is how wildcard DNS is supposed to behave. Only if there's no
label for your query will the wildcard entry be read.
In your case, yes, if there's a TXT record
test.example.org. TXT adsfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf
then a query of
test.example.org. A?
will not fall through to the wildcard, because there's a record with
label "test".
See section 2.2.1 in RFC 4592 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4592) for a
fairly good example of this.
You could of course write your own code to look for a wildcard entry (by
querying something outlandish like qwerqwerqwerwqerwqerqwer.example.org
and checking the response).
Can you explain why you'd want to do this, however? In what cases would
you have a TXT record for a label, but want to use a wildcard A record?

Hi,
I have a wildcard of type A for a certain domain ( Eg.: *.example.org
<http://example.org> ).
I noticed that it only works if no records are found for a subdomain,
including other types like TXT, SPF etc.
Example: if there is a test.example.org <http://test.example.org> record
of type TXT but no record for the subdomain of type A, wildcard won't work.
Is it possible to avoid this and force powerdns to always use the wildcard?
Thanks.
