Subdomain question

[dreamline]

Hi All,
I'm running into a bit of a problem. I created a subdomain called: test.domain.com and it's located in the main folder of the domain (no problem there). Now what I wanna do is point all US states like (NY, OH etc.) to that subdomain, so I edited the httpd.conf file and added test.ny.domain.com and test.oh.domain.com as server aliases.

For the US there are like 50 states so I added them all to the httpd.conf file and guess what in some cases it's working but in most cases is not working.

Anyone had a similar problem with this? The weird thing is that a number of additions are working but that the majority is not.

Anyways thanks for any help on this problem..

Hi all,
I've solved the problem. An 'A' record of test.*.domain.com doesn't seem to work. So i've set it to *.domain.com and that works just fine....

BIND isn't recursive as bash is .
