Using the DNS Management console, right click in the zone, select new domain, name it with an asterisk(*), then in that new domain, create a new host, leave the name field blank, and give it the IP you want. It would be practically impossible to make a wildcard record dynamic. -- Best regards, Kevin D.

*.domain.com? "Bruno" <.> 4/21/2007 9:52:05 PM Hello, is there any way to make anything.domain.com points to the same IP? I'm working on a website that will work like this.... each user will have his username.domain.com. Let's say the user bruno registers, then he will have bruno.domain.com, can I make it dynamic or I'll have to manually create records on my dns server? thanks!

Why? Perhaps it depends what Bruno means by dynamic -- DNS updates can definitely be done programatically eg by using the Microsoft DNS WMI provider, and this may be what he wants. I also can't see any reason why a wlldcard A record couldn't be updated over the standard dynamic DNS protocol (RFC 2136), although the built in Windows dynamic dns code for client ddns wouldn't support it.
