|
|
hello, i set an "* a name" for a domain on linode dns manager,
looks like
Code:
A/AAAA Records
Hostname IP Address TTL Options
97.107.x.x Default Edit | Remove
* x.179.30.x Default Edit | Remove
mail 97.107.x.x Default Edit | Remove
test1 x.179.30.x Default Edit | Remove
test2 x.179.30.x Default Edit | Remove
test3 x.179.30.x Default Edit | Remove
www 97.107.x.x Default Edit | Remove
it worked, for all the subdomains, i'm going to an external server,
pings and www stuff is working but when i'm using subdomain "test" it is not working.
actually, i started to test this stuff with subdomain test.mydomain.com it wasnt working then tried something different and it worked. now test is still not working, funny ha? :) |

| Give us the zone file, not a copy/paste of the edit form. Thanks! |

| Maybe it's because you keep typing the letter x instead of numbers in your ip address? |

Perhaps you tried "test" before Linode's DNS servers were serving the new record, and your resolver cached the NXDOMAIN.
But we can only speculate without more information. |
