[users] question about and ns records.. and wildcards
I have a tinydns server that I am trying to port/put into vegadns; to make life easier on the people here. in the original tinydns data file (that was created by hand/a human) I have this: Zdomain.name:192.168.1.248:hostmaster.domain.name::7200:3601:86400:3601:43200:: domain.name:192.168.1.248:500 it seems that vegadns will not allow me to make this same entry (regarding the entry) I cannot put an IP address in there this is the closest thing I can get: Zdomain.name:192.168.1.248:hostmaster.domain.name::16384:2048:1048576:2560:86400 domain.name::ns.domain.name:3600 +ns.domain.name:192.168.1.248:3600 Is there something syntactily incorrect about my entry with an IP? also is there no way to do a wildcard entry? *.something.domain.name as an A record isn't accepted. How can I get that to be entered? Thanks in advance.

(like you didn't know this was coming.. ) Where would I find out how to do it? hostname *.blah.domain.name type A address 192.168.1.200 gives this error: *.blah.domain.name. is not a valid A record name when I use \*.blah.domain.name I get this error: \\*.blah.domain.name. is not a valid A record name the tinydns-data page looks like it's an A record. where would I be able to find that information on how to add a wildcard entry? I didn't see anything in the archives. Thanks in advance I just tried with 0.9.7, the only version I have installed right now.. and it works. The sanity checking in 0.9.8 may have broken wildcards. I'll have to look into that later today. Regards, Bill

Wether it will appear correctly in the tinydns data file I shall leave to you to report back ;-) when I use \*.blah.domain.name I get this error: \\*.blah.domain.name. is not a valid A record name the tinydns-data page looks like it's an A record. where would I be able to find that information on how to add a wildcard entry?
