Yes, you can define a wildcard DNS entry (*.turnkey.to. IN A 198.31.129.26). It will accept all subdomain requests.
We are currently using it and it works very well.

I read somewhere about a catch-all sub-domain, so I asked my current hosting provider for *.turnkey.to ... which allows me to run any subdomains I like without adding dns records, as long as they all point to the same root directory. hth S.
