The * matching is purely textual; it does not understand components.
As * can match nothing, you _could_ use *nott.ac.uk to match plain
"nott.ac.uk" as well as "anything.you.like.nott.ac.uk", but it would
also match "hardknott.ac.uk", which you probably don't want. Thus you
should probably have "nott.ac.uk:*.nott.ac.uk".
