===== Question "wildcard forwarding", by Terry B. =====

Greetings.  I want to forward all traffic to *.mydomain to a specific ip.  this isn't only www traffic but mail, https etc.  if I create an a record with a * as the name, will this work or is there a better way.  I want mail.mydomain, ftp.mydomain smtp.mydomain etc to all forward to the server which is hosting it.  what is the best way to accomplish this?

Hello, 

Yes, you want to use a * as the name of your A record, as this will do precisely what you would like to do.
