some subdomain contains "?." via using recon.py #154

Hi,

When I used recon.py to brute force the subdomain, I found that the some subdomains of results contain "?.", for example: "?.xxx.xxx.com". I think it is not a vilid subdomain, it should be a bug. My command is: python recon.py -d xxxxx.com -l /dicts/subdomains_dicts/n0kovo_subdomains_large.txt >../../results/booking_large.txt

This is a limitation of the recon.py script, which is documented inside the script:

Limitation: Zone delegation is only handled up to the delegation point. For example, if example.org is enumerated and sub.example.org is delegated to another name server, abc.sub.example.org will not be found by this script if "abc.sub" is contained in the word list. However, this script will report this fact as ?.sub.example.org in this case.
