In my experience, *.mycompany.com would match foo.mycompany.com but not
foo.bar.mycompany.com - which may be sufficient if you can get into
people's heads that the domains are www.mycompany.com and
sales.mycompany.com and definitely not www.sales.mycompany.com
So I have a feeling that * would match 'com' or 'org' but nothing more
useful. Though it may vary from browser to browser.
