Instead of using a wildcard for
www1.domain.com
www2.domain.com

Is it possible to implement a way to do a wildcard for
www.domain1.com
www.domain2.com

Say, if you had a domain registration service and wanted to
give "under construction" pages to all the new domains without
entering them in the DNS, but they are all registered to your name server.
