Wildcard Parked Domains?

[bbf]

I'm on a VPS.
I have a domain, sub1.sub2.domain.com and need to park other domains via wildcard: *.sub2.domain.com

I already park domains explicitly (e.g. yoyo.sub2.domain.com ) via WHM but now I'll need to park many more and managing them is getting unwieldy.


1) I already have my 3rd-party DNS set up to use the wildcard.
2) I have the wildcard working on my local machine via an Apache VirtualHost directive: " ServerAlias *.sub2.domain.com "
3) WHM and CPanel both don't accept domains with asterisks in the "Parking" pages
4) Explicitly setting non-wildcard domains in WHM works fine.


This Cpanel staff member mentions you can use Cpanel, but the " * " is not accepted:

Other posts mention editing Apache's .conf files but they may be overwritten by WHM/Cpanel.


So what is the solution?


Thanks for your time.

Can anyone help with this?

I figured out a workaround, which requires editing apache files via shell. I basically did what I do on my local dev machine: add " ServerAlias *.sub2.domain.com " to the VirtualHost block.

I followed Step 1 on this page:
