Hi all, I'm running a forum hosting service that provides each user with their own subdomain, via a wildcard DNS setup. All subdomains point to the same local area, where the forum selected is governed by the subdomain specified by the user. I don't need to spread the service over multiple servers as yet, however i want to design my system to be ready for this if the situation arrives. Has anyone had any experience doing this? I don't think this is going to be easy, however i'm sure it's possible. If each subdomain had it's own DNS entries i realize this would be easy to manage, however given they don't, is it possible to still do this via a wildcard dns setup? Or is this only possible by adding entries individually to my name server? Are there any limitations with the number of entries? Any info on this kind of thing would be great! Thanks so much in advance, Rhett.
Just an update: I have done a bit of research, just wondering if adding an entry using bind for every subdomain, pointing to different server IP's is an option? I'm assuming i would have to reload BIND everytime which isn't a very good option.
