Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.7.3.dfsg-1~squeeze7
When using bind9 as a resolver it will fail to resolve *.example.org when DNSsec is enabled in the resolver. So when resolving 'www.example.org' relies on resolving '*.example.org', the RR won't be found. Below an example taken from /var/log/syslog (UTC + 2). Here bind tries to find the AAAA and A records for 'www.nuonexclusief.nl'.

Apparently this has been fixed in 6-ESV-R6, 9.7.5 and 9.8.2, which don't seem to be available on Debian. A discussion in xs4all.general shows that the newer versions of Bind do correctly resolve the address.
