    you will also need to edit your domain entry in httpd.conf for your doamin for sub domain wild card to work and where to redirect *.domain.com

    They may simply not offer that as a service. Many hosts won't want to change from the standard service offered through cPanel and wildcard subdomains isn't a standard service.

    Default vhost, cpanel and wpmu

    my host is good and when i requested they've configured for me.
    why i needed to have Wildcard DNS Record is because of WPMU as such multi user scripts which use of subdomain, mod_rewrite and .htaccess method.

    there are two things to modify, BIND named Zone file and httpd.conf
    The detail can read at this link.

    i followed all the instruction and got BINDed well.
    Code:
    ping whatever.haalaaluu.com
    and all pointed to same ip.

    currently, i stucked at this. when i type with www i can reach to my site but without it i got to cpanel default page after modified. pls try this
    http://www.haalaaluu.com/
    http://haalaaluu.com/
    the rest all seem to be working fine. pls help and so that i can request my host to modify for me.

    thanks.
