*.domain.com (undefined subdomains) to specific page

[piku]

wondering if this is possible?

i have "*.domain.com 14400 IN A 123.123.123.123" ...which currently goes to a default cpanel page. just wondering, has anyone done this, but redirected traffic to another set page instead of the cpanel one (possibly w/ .htaccess wizardry)??? TIA.

i dont think wildcard subdomains are possible, i remember a discussion on this on the old forums, and i am pretty sure the answer was no...

i will look around and see if i can find any info though.

hehe, the guy starting that discussion was me
it used to be possible to let non-existing subdomains resolve to the main domain. only problem is i don't remember how i did it....
and i can't look at the dns zones because i recreated the hosting packige i did it on

[-Oz-]

Would a modification of this work?

it used to be that you could edit your DNS zone and add an A record '*' and '*.domain.com'
and it would work, but the latest from cpanel.net is that it wont work...

sorry

so this is pretty much out of andrew's control? =|

I'm sure he has control of it.
I remember my last host adding in a line to the apache httpd.conf file to get wildcard subdomains to work.

I can't for the life of me remember what it was though

yep, it can be done, but it can break cpanels auto managment of httpd.conf

it would be very easy to do if you had your own box or a vps.

WOOHOO! i think i got it working. it only works on a domain that has a UNIQUE IP ADDRESS. try it to confirm fellas.

but i'm wondering if has to have a unique ip... maybe andrew can do it through the http.conf as well... hmmm
