Wild Card |
|
|
I am trying to do two things;
1. When a new domain is registered and my ns1.nameserver.com,
ns2.nameserver.com is entered into the DNS server and no ZONE has been
created that it will default to a wildcard or default zone where they will be
directed to a specifc IP.
2. Could have have a wild card like *.domanname.com where if they enter any
thing vpn... support .. it will respond backwith a specific IP. |

Even if you could create a zone like this, it would cause you a big problem,
you would not be able to resolve other unknown domains.
NetSol tried wildcard records at the com and net gTLD servers that caused
real big problems for everyone. It did send every unresolved .com and .net
to there website. IIRC, ICANN decided this violated their terms of service
and ordered the wildcard removed.

You can create a wildcard host record in a zone but as above, it creates
more problems than it solves. Most of the time, it is better for the
incorrect name lookup to fail. Otherwise, you wouldn't know when to check
your domain name spelling.
If this isn't important to you, in the MMC to create a wildcard record, you
have to start with a subdomain named * then, create a new host in the
subdomain leaving the name field blank. This creates a host named (same as
parent folder).

RE: Wild Card |

Here is a senario.
I register 5 domains and point them to my domain server. If no zone is
created can i have a default zone.
Also if i create a zone is there a way to have the a secondary zone created
another server automatically?

You can, do it but doing so will make the DNS server useless to resolve any
domain it does not own. You will need to create a zone for all TLDs, i.e.
..com .net .org .us and so on for each TLD on the internet, or at least for
each TLD you host. Then, in each TLD zone, right click, select new domain,
name the domain * , then in the * domain, right click select new host, leave
the name field blank and give it the IP you want the domain to resolve to.
Win2k will bark at you saying (same as parent folder) is not a valid host
name, click OK the create the record anyway.

I'm not going to tell you that you can't create a script that will create
primary and secondary zones on two servers simultaneously. I haven't done
it, but with dnscmd you can do just about anything on a DNS server.

Actually as Kevin is saying, either create the TLD on the machine, or use a
tool such as DNSCMD to create the zone for you, or manually create each
zone. I'm hosting about 25 domains, and I had to create each one manually.
Creating the secondaries was manual as well. I thought by the time I figured
out how to use DNSCMD to create the zones, and tweak it, I would have been
done long ago doing it manually.
