Web URL's use wildcards?

[David R. Kirk]

Tom,

Try setting up A records for your domain as follows ...

<Assume properly formed SOA here>
            IN        A        123.45.67.89
www    IN        A        123.45.67.89

... which should direct packets intended either for domain.com
or www.domain.com to the 123.45.67.89 address (of course,
insert your correct IP address above).

All of the rewrites and such of the names would be done by your
web server, of course.
