Bug#211291: libnss_dns should treat wildcard dns replies as host not found

[Mikko Rauhala <mjr@iki.fi>]

Package: libc6

In my opinion, Debian should respond to Verisign's wildcard dns name
scheme by returning a host not found message to the application level if
the address 64.94.110.11 is gotten for any query made outside the
verisign.com domain.

True, it would be ugly, but it'd fix something even uglier.

For reference, a preliminary implementation by Jani Jaakkola is at
