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?
