DNS Wilcarding W2k

[ezeki]

Hello everyone, I need some help regarding DNS wildcarding using windows DNS.

I have a windows 2000 DNS server on my network that acts as a primary DNS server to a DYNDNS server on the internet. I have been asked to drop the WWW. prefix from a few of our domains so that the site can be referenced using mydomain.com or

http://www.mydomain.com.

Following the request I have done some reading and made the following changes to my DNS server

1) Added a reg DWORD value called "LooseWildcarding" in the following location HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services|DNS\Perameters

2)Used DNSCMD.EXE to add wilcards
EXAMPLE dnscmd.exe "DNSservername" /RecordAdd mydomain.com *A 212.***.***.**

cany anyone tell me why my wildcards are not working or point me in the right direction?

You just need to create an A record without a name in the zone.
