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.
