    Arrow Wildcard subdomains in DNS?

    Is it possible to create a "wildcard DNS" for all subdomains on one account, using the reseller WHM?

    If yes, what is the process?

    Basically, we want *.domain.com to point to the web root for the account.

    Thanks!

    Default

    You need to add * entry in your named.conf or via WHM like

    * 14400 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx

    *.domain.tld IN A 1.2.3.4

    You also need an entry in httpd.conf file.


    For wild card DNS you could check the below mentioned URL

    Default CPanel Back End Tweak - Anyone know how?

    Hi Guys,

    I'd like to edit the park domain routine to create a wildcard entry in the named.conf and instead of www.mydomain.com put a *.mydomain.com in the httpd.conf file. I'd really prefer to have it happen for all of my users when they park their domains rather than do it manually every time.

    Anyone know how to tweak this? I poked pretty deep in the backend files but it looks like these files are modified by some binary functions.

    Thanks.

    Unhappy c'mon somone has to know how

    c'mon, please help me guys... this costs me like an hour a week and it is really silly that I have to go and manually make such simple changes when I want my server to wildcard the parked domains by default. Please if you have any idea of a way to make CPANEL do this for me it would help me a ton.
