If you don't mind all the sites showing the same default Web server,
then this will work perfectly well.  If you want them all showing a
different Web server, you must create different virtual hosts to do
that in the Apache httpd.conf file.  [Don't ask how to do that on the
BIND mailing list, there's a perfectly good Apache mailing list, and
even (*gasp*) understandable documentation.  ;-)]

BE AWARE that using a wildcard will allow people to use absolutely
anything they want in place of that "*".  You may not care if someone
takes in a Web page to anyone else and says that they got it from the
Web site at "f?ckyoutruly.mysite.com".  I know others who would care.
