Wildcard DNS

    I’m trying to get Wildcard DNS working on OSX 10.4 Server.

    I followed the instructions here: https://geoffhankerson.com/node/108

    And on the Server I can Ping test.mysite.com with no issue (so the DNS server is working) If I type in a wildcard on the server’s web browser I get auto redirected to mysite.com.

    But from the outside It just get a 404 not found with the wildcard.

    any ideas?
    What do I need to setup in Apache to get the Wildcard Working?

  • wildcard dns is not the same as wildcard subdomains.

    Well I followed that tutorial, and it was the same as one I had already followed. I can ping test.mysite.com on my local server and if I put test.mysite.com into the browser on the local server I get mysite.com

    But from the outside on another machine I get a “server can’t be reached”

    Ok figured it out… Duh.

    I forgot to put a wildcard in my domain registrar’s (godaddy) “A” record.

    *.mysite.com “mysites IP Address”

    That get’s the wildcard typed into my browser to my server that handles the rest.
