[Pdns-users] Basic PowerDNS Wildcard Question

[Tom Rossi]

Alan,

I'm so sorry!  You are absolutely correct!  I thought I tested that
scenario last night, but I just tested again and it works.  So with
DNS records like the following:

*.example.com CNAME host.anotherdomain.com
example.com A 192.168.0.1

I am able to resolve "anything.example.com" as well as "example.com".

This will work fine BUT a CNAME would be ideal for our setup.  We have
hundreds of domains that all point to the same ip address.  If I
choose this configuration, I will need to update those hundreds of A
records.  Its all in a database now, so at least that won't be too
difficult!

Thanks!
Tom
