You will need to edit functions.php
line 135 in the function check_domain_name_format
$result = ereg("^[\.a-z0-9-]+$", strtolower($name));
$result = ereg("^[\*\.a-z0-9-]+$", strtolower($name));
in other words add a \* to the regex. the backslash escapes the * so that it
is evaluated literally
Then in records get rid of all subdomains if any, then add one with * and it
goes in to the database, at least it just did here...
Wether it will appear correctly in the tinydns data file I shall leave to you
to report back ;-)
