Hm, interesting. On the first try (with the browser) I got this:

The following error was encountered: 
 Unable to determine IP address from host name for  
shouldnotexist-butthereisawildcard.sh
 The dnsserver returned: 
 Name Error: The domain name does not exist.

Now, I get a DNS response, but no server answer (which doesn't matter). 
Strange is, why did I receive an error at the first try?
