I'm having a problem getting a root zone to transfer correctly among several
name servers on an internal class A network.  The zone will transfer; however,
all MX records never get transferred.  The MX records are all wildcards
(i.e.  *.AT, *.EDU, etc.) for high level domains which point to a gateway
machine.  The same zone file will work correctly on the primary server, but
will not get correctly tranferred.  The software is Berkeley bind 4.8.3
running under Ultrix 4.1.   Has anybody seen this problem?  Any ideas?
