[isp-dns] Re: How to create a dns record which only resolves TLD

["Bhavin Modi" <mbhavin@...]

Actually I have been doing this but I was wondering if i could do this with
something like a wild card character, cuz I have thousands of users and I
cannot go and type there individual records. I heard of record generators,
but users can have any username not always something like user1,user2.....
so I think I cannot use record generators as well.

All I have to do is

domain.com  -> 1.2.3.4
www.domain.com -> 1.2.3.4
usera.domain.com - > 1.2.3.4
buser.domain.com -> 1.2.3.4
....
....
otheruser.domain.com -> 1.2.3.4
....
nosuchuser.domain.com -> 1.2.3.4

The only thing is I have thousands of user so i cannot possibly go and have
individual entries typed.
