wilcard DNS and Virtual subdomains?

Question

I just don't get it..

I'm planning to get scenario like this: username.mydomain.com = mydomain.com/user.php?user=username

Well, let's not go that far yet because this wildcard DNS is making me insane!! :/

I have DNS record

* A my-ip-address

And I have in my vhost file

ServerAlias *.mydomain.com

But it just doesn't work at all.. No wait, example test.mydomain.com is working but not any random subdomain.. Wut?

When I ping any subdomain it find my ip like it should be. Can anyone help me?

Okey and then this other issue. When (and if) I'll get this virtual subdomain working, what would be best sollution to make it work like I explained above?

username.mydomain.com equals to mydomain.com/user.php?user=username

but user can see it just like it would be subdomain... Little lost here, sry! :)

Thanks for all help!
