Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the reply.

But would you provide some more detailed instructions/hints about how
to do this? I really know very little but DNS managment, in fact I have only
tried to create a few hostnames in the DNS. Since this wild card issue is
the only thing I want, I don't wanna read a half of ebook to figure out how
to do this. I tried to Google around for some time, but with no luck.

Actually I need to do this for my private intranet only (instead of a
coporate one), so I think the corresponding overhead is fine for me.

Thanks in advnace.

have a nice day
walty
