Wildcard dns

[Jillian]

Im using ispcp on my main server and I had little problem with manual dns records.
I have domain (domain.tld) in my main server and I have assigned sub domain (sub.domain.tld) to my second server.
Now Im trying to make new alias to second server (*.sub.domain.tld), but only get error:
Cannot validate A record. Reason 'Use of disallowed char("*") in NAME

Is there some other way to assign all *.sub.domain.tld records to second server?

you can add manually the wildcard to the zone file of the domain.

Open the /var/cache/bind/domain.tld.db file. Insert the wildcard entry and set the correct serial. Save the file and copy this to the /etc/ispcp/bind/working directory. Restart the bind.

You just modified the DNS, but you forgot to redirect the all subdomain to http://www.mydomain.com. You must modify the apache settings to:

Code:

# NameVirtualHost ...:80
<VirtualHost ...:80>
    ServerName www.mydomain.com
    # This is your main domain
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost .....:80>
    ServerName mydomain.com
    ServerAlias *.mydomain.com
    # This is to make sure that foo.mydomain.com gets redirected too
    # If you want to use more virtual hosts on subdomains,
    # just define them earlier
    Redirect / http://www.mydomain.com/
</VirtualHost>
