The only way DNS could do it is to setup a wildcard DNS and to have all your subdomains with different IPs. DNS is not the place to do it.
To do the rewrite, you need to setup a rules that says, if it doesn't match X (which includes a list of all you subdomains) then rewrite to www.domain.com. Instead of a rule trying to match. You'll still need a wildcard DNS entry though. I'll send an example in a second.
