IP address. yeah that'll work great... just did the config - super quick - setup a new IP, wildcard, and IIS entry. i've got about 8 extra IPs - so I am good to go for a little while.
Thanks.

If you're only running a few zones (< 50 or so) then the Windows binaries that ISC has available for the current versions (9.2.1, etc) should work fine for you. Microsoft's DNS server was very nasty in WindowsNT, but the one they've included in Win2k is actually pretty solid, and MUCH easier to configure than BIND unless you have experience working with zone files directly. > problem is. i am running several other domains as well.

Pointing a wildcarded entry at IIS is fine, and will work great if your parser is written well. The secret is dedicating an IP address to the site entry that will handle the requests. To get IIS to pick up requests for your wildcard hosts, you have to have at least one entry in the address configuration with a blank host-header field. Unfortunately IIS doesn't support a regular expression type thing in the host-header field that would make this easier on a shared IP. -Justin Scott, Lead Developer Sceiron Internet Services, Inc. http://www.sceiron.com ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
