The why:

Simple: For a dial-up system to actually produce all Names to an IP so a 
Static Webpage can be shown displaying a message - Message could be "You 
have run out of Internet Time", "Your account has expired" or even "The 
ISP is having technical difficulties"

The how:

I don't think bind can do a wildcard or does it?
