Wildcard Subdomain Setup on Windows 2003

Question

I am trying to setup an internal staging server for a web application that relies on wildcard subdomains.

I would appreciate some guidance in how to setup wildcard subdomains with Windows Server 2003 DNS. (I don't seem to be able to enter "*.domain.tld. IN A 1.2.3.4" directly)

Thanks.

More information:

I have a zone MY.LAN, under that I have a server (A record) staging01. I want to setup up wildcard subdomains for staging01

Answer 1

I've just checked and you can definately enter the wildcard entry directly into server 2003 DNS. Just go to new A record in the right zone, enter * in the name box and then enter the IP, works fine.
