CNAME www.otherdomain.com. *.myDomain.com. MX 10 mail.otherdomain.com. *.myDomain.com. A 192.168.1.1 But if you're trying to create this effect: myHost1.myDomain.com. CNAME host1.otherdomain.com. myHost2.myDomain.com. CNAME host2.otherdomain.com. then no, wildcards won't do this. There is a way to do this easily with BIND 8, using the $GENERATE directive to iterate through a series of records that only differ by an iterator. You can also create this effect with QuickDNS Pro, in a quasi-manual sort of way, using AppleScript. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
