Hello folks,
I would like to configure my DNS server (Debian based BIND 9) in
order to handle `automagically` all subdomain requests of a given zone.
This is known as "wildcard dns". There are implications to doing this
that may not be immediately obvious. Please consider carefully before
going down this road. Many experienced sysadmins avoid this practice as
they would bird flu.
I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying make sure you are aware of the
consequences.
