How complex?

$ host -lva test.globnix.net nlns.globnix.net

$ host -lva f.e.e.b.d.a.e.d.1.3.0.0.8.9.8.0.2.0.a.2.ip6.arpa nlns.globnix.net

Strip the DNSKEY/RRSIG/TYPE65534/NSEC3 records, peruse the results, see
if there's anything of interest?  Note that there are no wildcard
records, feel free to add them.  Otherwise, should meet your needs?

Note that Bind, at least, requires "check-names ignore;" to be able to
load these zones.  Everything in them is perfectly valid DNS.
