Search Again: how to implement wildcards? From: Donovan Watts Date: Thursday, February 3, 2000 Time: 11:42:00 am Aloha.. I"m hosting manila based Frontier websites whereby folks can sign up for a site and have it ready to go almost immediately. New site URL's take the form: yoursitename.websurfhawaii.com But in order for this to work I need to do the following: (from the docs) ---start of docs--- Setting up DNS Some background is necessary: we'll use EditThisPage.Com as an example. The home page of the ISP site is at www.editthispage.com. Created sites are created at *.editthispage.com, where * is any name. You'll need to set up DNS so that this will actually work. Many DNS servers allow you to create a * entry so that all host names are mapped to the same machine. So: choose your domain name, and make sure DNS is set up so that *.mydomain.com points to your server. (Of course, replace mydomain.com with your actual domain name.) ---end of docs--- So, how do I do this? I tried putting in a * cname record but that didn't work. mahalo.. d. ______________________________________________________________________ donovan@websurfhawaii.com w e b s u r f h a w a i i blazing new web frontiers http://www.websurfhawaii.com/
