Admin doesn't allow asterisk in the name for a record

Admin doesn't allow asterisk in the name for a record

"invalid name (only letters, digits, underscore and hyphen allowed)."

Asterisk should surely be allowed so you can make wildcard records.

this was broken in http://code.google.com/p/pdns-gui/source/detail?r=97

The used regex to prevent whitespace is not correct as it doenst allow * and @ 
and only allows lowercase [a-z] as first char/last char.

I've downloaded trunk version and this still doesn't work.

I'm impressed that this still isn't fixed....

Is there a workaround for this yet?

yeh - change the regular expression to allow whitespace.for example

/^[a-z]{1}[a-z0-9\.\-]+[a-z0-9]{1}$

to 

/^[a-z\*]{1}[a-z0-9\.\-\]+[a-z0-9]{1}$

would allow it to start with a * for example

however I don't use this product after seeing it wasn't being actively 
developed, and admin was based on part of some forum code which seemed odd and 
not brilliantly structured either (and there is plenty of duplication the patch 
above in question where code is duplicated)
