Steve - I am still testing, but I believe my issue was around disabling the
000-default config that comes with apache and debain.
Once i disabled it, I was good to go..it does work.
Now i will start reading the dns link that you sent me.
Just a coouple of quick questions:
1. I can do the same wildcard config with dns as i do iwth apache ????
2. if i ever need to specify a particular special subdomain of the main
domain, can I still use serveralias command like :
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName XXX.com
ServerAlias rid11.XXX.com
ServerAlias *.XXX.com
But of course i should have a subdirectory pertaining to that subdomain.
Is that how it works...thanks for all your help...that was killing me
there..sorry for killing you too.
thanks
mjh
