Does bind support wildcard prefix
I want to install bind DNS server on my LAN to locally test a web
application that is designed to support receiving requests on different url
domain prefixes.
Map *.mydomain.com to
For example 192.168.12.12
*.mydomain.com. IN A 192.168.12.12
Use
abc.mydomain.com
def.mydomain.com
www.mydomain.com
etc
All arrive at http server on 192.168.12.12
bind does not care about HTTP. BIND will point A records to your IP but
that's all.
Note that wildcard DNS has caveats, e.g. it only applies to otherwise
non-existent records, not to any existent, so if you e.g. define
abc.mydomain.com MX ...
www.def.mydomain.com A ...
then the *.mydomain.com will NOT apply to abc.mydomain.com
some more info at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record
This is my primary need so I don't want to install if this is not my best
option.
