It sounds to me that you are actually not after simple * wildcard,
but after some type of formulaic forwarding rule
i.e.
domain[1-9].goofy.micky.mouse.com ==> dns$1
such that $1 is the specific digit [1-9] in the instance

IOW I do not see a wildcard in
(domain1).goofy.micky.mouse.com - dns1
(domain2).goofy.micky.mouse.com - dns2
(domain3).goofy.micky.mouse.com - dns3
even if it were possible to define this, but as others have
said, there are 3 rules here

I do not believe you have a chance in a hot wind of
defining the formulaic forwarding rule.

Now, what you could do is avoid the GUI and instead
use programmatic method to define the multiple forwarding
rules (and use it over and over to config each DNS server)
