I have a project to create something similar as in foipreso.com, but
with useful content.
In foipreso.com, any thing that to come before the domain (example:
Bill_Clinton.foipreso.com) is perceived automatically by directed
server DNS and to the dynamic page. When the sub-domain will be www,
has access the main page of the site.

I did not discover as to point, in the server of dns of windows 2000,
* domain.com with respect to the same IP.
If somebody to know as to point all alias.domain the same IP and will
be able to inform me, will be very grateful.

So you want a wildcard record that will resolve anyname.domain.com to the
same IP address or alias?

In your domain.com forward lookup zone create a new domain, name it * , then
in that new domain if you want IP address; create a new host leave the name
field blank give it the IP you want the click "Add host" then click OK to
create the record anyway.
If you want an alias create a new alias, leave the "Alias" field blank and
put in the Fully Qualified Name and click OK.

Hi, Kevin.

Very useful! You showed that he is possible to do what I look for.

Only a misfortune:
The first option (using host without name inside of the domain *)
functioned, resolve the name ok.
Second (using a alias without name inside of the domain *) it does not
function, does not resolve the name.
It will be that you have plus some tip to pass me?
Why it will be that using the alias without name the domains of the type *
site.com.br do not resolve?

Thank's.

As per the algorithm in section 4.3.2 of RFC 1034, wildcard (client-side)
aliases are not supposed to work. (This is one area where another,
purportedly conformant, DNS server software flagrantly violates the standard.)
