M$ DNS accepts the null ampersand identifier (" @ "), as all RFC-compliant nameservers do.

e.g.;

ORIGIN blah.com
@ IN A 127.0.0.1

Will make "blah.com" resolve to 127.0.0.1.

Please let me know if any can do it a Microsoft DNS server (NT 4.0, SP 3).
M$ DNS will not except an @ and has to have a host name.
