I am also having trouble with GoDaddy + Heroku with wildcard
subdomains

In my setup, since GoDaddy apparently doesn't allow wildcard CNAMES, I
currently have 3 A-records that look like this:

A-Record  *   75.101.163.44
A-Record  *   75.101.163.44
A-Record  *   75.101.163.44

.. with no CNAMES.

Of course, this means 'http://www.mydomain.com' will load just fine,
but 'http://mydomain.com' will not.
Aside from changing registrars or using the Zerigo add-on, I am at a
loss as to how to set this up.

The Heroku documentation about wildcard domains is vague, stating:

"To use with a custom domain, configure your registrar to point
*.yourdomain.com at heroku.com. If things are set up correctly you
should be able to look up any arbitrary subdomain:"

... which seems like a cop-out statement.

Any ideas on this?
