Thanks for the info. My subdomain list is getting kinda long, and they all point tot he same IP (didn't want to mess with CNAME records, which I've only had partial luck with, so they are all A records...)
That entry would allow me to create subdomains on the fly without worrying about the DNS. You're right though, if you want a particular name to point to a different box, you might have problems, or need to handle the redirection differently. Shawn Jon wrote: > Shawn wrote: > >> hmmm...
