how to set dns to have "everysubdomains.mydomain.ext"?

okapi · 02-27-2007, 01:18 PM

Hi

Usually it's easy, just set ns1, ns2 and that's it.

But on some registars there are 3 type of records to do with:

A
CNAME
MX
NS

what's the magic spell to point all subdomains to an Ip, i.e. parking site?

I think you need 'wildcarded DNS'. Not much idea what it is exactly though, Google it

it's usually an A type with the * wildcard character as the host, how you get to this will vary by registrar.

wildcards aren't supported by this registar.

ok i suppose it is impossible without wildcards.

Thanks anyway!
