It seems to be a bug in comcast's, it looks like the BIND bug where it
omitted NSECs for wildcard expansion.

When you dig at comcast's servers you get the CNAME response but no
NSEC in the authority section.  This is the problem, and causes
validation failure.  That NSEC (or an NSEC3 for an NSEC3 domain, but
this domain has NSEC) has to be there to prove that the query name
does not exist and thus the wildcard expansion must be used.

In unbound's working response this is the NSEC:
*.trials.comcast.net.   3600    IN  NSEC
troubleshooting.comcast.net. CNAME RRSIG NSEC
[ and an RRSIG over it ].

If this is the BIND bug, then it has been fixed already (I think), and
they simply need to upgrade.

Best regards,
   Wouter
