[Cialug] wild card domain tricks

Hi, I manage a friend's dns and I'm fine doing simple things but now
I've got to do something that I've never done before.

He currently has *.followers.net go to a certain IP address. The zone
file is called pri.followers.net and has in it (superflous stuff left
out)

followers.net.      A        69.60.125.97
*       A       69.60.125.105

We want to also add the ability for *.testing.followers.net to go to a
different IP address. Do I need to create a different zone file for
the testing.followers.net domain name and then create an entry like:

*      A      <ip address>

or can I simply add an entry to the existing zone file?

For the record, the server uses BIND.
