Hi Gareth,

In that case you could still forward both test and subdomain(s).test.

The subdomain(s).test would be forwarded where it has to, the test can 
be forwarded on a non-listening port on localhost.

The subdomains will get the appropriate answers, and test (along with 
non specified subdomains) will just start servfailing after a while.

Best regards,
