Would you post an example of how a >wildcard should be entered? Sure. For a wildcard A record, you'd enter something like this: *.example.com. A 192.168.0.1 Then, assuming you have no records named test.example.com, a query for A records named test.example.com would return: test.example.com. A 192.168.0.1 For a wildcard CNAME record, you might use this format: *.exmaple.com. CNAME example.com. Once again, assuming you have no other records named test.example.com, a query for A records named test.example.com would return: test.example.com. CNAME example.com. along with any and all A records named example.com. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
