I do wild cards with MS by
adding a subdomain named "*"
and then I add hosts etc.under the domain.
I am sure bind supports wildcards as well.
works pretty slick. I have some applications that parse the host header to determine the proper domain to display. with the wildcard, I don't have to create any DNS entries, I just create them in my application.
Although I started playing around with the DNS commandline tool included with W2K and it seems easy enough to create domains on the fly as you need them anyway.

Can you use a wild card in DNS? I have several sub domains that need to
be set up with more to come. What I want to do is put *.domainname.com
in DNS and be done with it.
Thanks,
