FYI: A quick look shows 14 TLDs that appear to have wildcard records:
ac
cc
com
cx
mp
museum
net
nu
ph
pw
sh
tk
tm
ws
The following TLDs answer for '*.tld' but do not appear to have wildcard
records:
bz
cn
tw
It appears that the most reliable way to detect a wildcard response for
'somedomain.tld' is to query for '*.tld'; if the results match, then
'somedomain.tld' doesn't really exist.
