Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Quick question: We have asked our ISP to use a wildcard for our domain, but how many sub-domains can we actually use, for instance, we would like to have our sub-domains map to city/states of customers, something like:
What do you mean by "wildcard" - especially where it concerns your ISP? The only place I've heard that term used is when it concerns security certificates. In that case, the number of sub-domains is infinite.
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A wildcard DNS record is a record in a DNS zone that will match requests for non-existent domain names. A wildcard DNS record is specified by using a "*" as the left most label (part) of a domain name, e.g. *.example.com.
OK cool. So you could have multiple sub-domains, virtually unlimited, so long as the length of the domain namespace didn't exceed 255 characters or whatever?
