Wildcard DNS and subdomains

[sdjl]

I'm just wondering if anyone has managed to setup wildcard DNS for subdomains here on Dathorn?
I'm not even sure if it's possible in all honesty but just thought i would ask for arguements sake.

My new improved website would work nicely with some wildcard system in place and i did find a small tutorial thing on how to add the DNS entry (http://photomatt.net/2003/10/10/wild...d-sub-domains/) but i don't know if i have to wait for that to propogate as it doesn't seem to work at the moment

Any ideas/suggestions/input/comments/advice/abuse are/is welcome

Just so those who look at this are aware, i got this working.

A trouble ticket to support helped.
You have to edit the <virtualhost> container inside httpd.conf to include *.domain.com under ServerAlias, like so:

ServerAlias www.domain.com *.domain.com

I then wrote some code, to work from within a .htaccess file, to rewrite subdomains to user.php?username=$subdomain
Works like a charm

how did you edit the httpd.conf file?

I didn't. It's something Andrew had to do
