CNAME elma.solve.se. www.startsida.net. CNAME elma.solve.se. and in the solve.se zone: elma.solve.se. A 212.116.72.73 With DNS Expert I can look up anything.startsida.net just fine, but with a browser or Anarchie i keep getting errors. www.startsida.net works fine everywhere. Primary is ns.solve.se. Can't wildcards point on a CNAME? >Well, you can create records like this: > *.myDomain.com. 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.
