My original post was about how to accomplish: foo.bar.domain.com and I received the information I needed there.
The idea of using a wildcard would work, but we use the same domain name with different host headers to access a couple of different domains so a "catch all" would mess up the process. We may have foo.domain.com pointing to one site, bar.domain.com pointing to another and secure.domain.com pointing to an SSL enabled site with a different IP address. If I understand correctly using a wildcard would push them all to one domain where I'd have to redirect to the appropriate page/site which would be undesirable in our situation. I just needed to know how to make foo.bar.domain.com work. I was thinking it was something in IIS, I learned I needed to look to DNS for this solution.

I do what you are thinking about and use a wlidcard entry on MSDNS to direct all subdomains to my server. I have a default site on a particular IP Address to direct all www site to the application. I find it a pain to have to enter the domain name in IIS for each URL using an application, so I keep an IP address specific to the application, and use the application to parse the URL. I think v2 browsers might not pass this information so this approach is not without its problems. Not sure what you need help with. My setup. *.somedomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122 in my DNS plus any custom URLs www.anydomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122 www.someotherdomain.com ==> 122.122.122.122 pointing to one IP reserved for my application. I use CFM to determine what URL is accessing the application.

Then I'm using the SERVER_NAME variable to determine the content they receive. We create a new URL for each client and our naming structure was getting confusing, we needed to add another indicator. Thanks though, the wildcard info. may come in handy some day. -----Original Message----- From: cfhelp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 1:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT: IIS Domain Naming Question Setup a wild card in DNS (if you can) by using the @ for a host Record. I do not think MSDNS supports this. Then add a blank host header in IIS and every sub domain that comes to the server that does not have a host header will be directed to the Virtual Server with the Blank Host header.

Are you running your own DNS server? If not, and you need more help, what is the actual domain name? Dave -- David M.
