Hi,

I use dns so that I can host multiple websites internally on my net.. Trouble is each time I setup another site I have to edit the dns file to add the new entry...

Is it possible to say that 'anything'.domain.cxm resolves to the servers ip?? So that you don't have to type in individual addresses like:

site1 A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
site2 A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

and so on...

I belive that this will work for you.

*.domain.com. IN A 198.31.129.26

Yup,
That happens quite often doing it the manual way.
I always suggest using a GUI for DNS.
It cuts 90% of the common mistakes out.
