Our Managed DNS service currently does not support partial wildcards in Address
(A) Records. For instance, consider the following example, where Managed DNS
services are purchased for domainname.com:
Domain name: domainname.com
Go to Manage DNS Records, and add the following
A record
Hostname:
*.something.domainname.com
Destination IP Address: 203.199.114.89
The system will throw an exception:
Invalid Name *.something for A Records
In order to circumvent this, you would have to add a new Managed DNS Order
for something.domainname.com, and create the wild-carded A record here, as
below.
Domain name: something.domainname.com
Hostname: *.something.domainname.com
Destination IP Address: 203.199.114.89
Now, abc.something.domainname.com will
point to 203.199.114.89
