Re: wildcard DNS entry not resolving



Read inline please.

In news:09563F05-E72A-4310-AFD2-BDF57E8DB827@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Frank <Frank@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
I added a wildcard entry to a sub domain of my company's Active
Directory domain in Microsoft DNS, but it does not resolve any names.
The domain is AD integrated since it is the Windows domain we use on
our network.

The same wildcard setup works in another domain that is AD
integrated, but not an actual Active Directory windows domain.

Any ideas?

ADI zones do support Wildcard records, and they work as expected. But, I
would not use one if the domain name is in any DNS suffix search list. Keep
im mind the DNS suffix search list is appended to any Query that doesn't end
with a trailing "."(dot).
