RE: how to check for hostnames of wildcard-domains

The obvious answer (which is probably wrong - considering its
obviousness) would be to do an A query for every name you're interested
in (ftp.domain.tld, www.domain.tld, etc), and finally a couple more
queries (both, if really paranoid): one for random_name.domain.tld,
another for random_name.random_subdomain.domain.tld. Check the answers
you got for those two queries against any answer you got before.

What are the chances of ftp.domain.tld address ==
ghd63448211abdyctc.domain.tld ==
djkdfye653323fhj.sddscll33hdhfg.domain.tld ?
