Sounds like a good idea, but due to the way CODB works, I have to do it
the hard way: Create input verification schemas for hostname and FQDN
with wildcards. Then use these in the few fields that actually can use
wildcards. I just wrapped that up for DNS and there are some DNS record
types which don't like wildcards.

Now it's just messing with "web server alias" and I'm just banging my
head on the table with one particular complicated regular expression for
a field that takes multiple domain names - optionally separated by
either line wraps or comas.
