I have a question regarding Macs and DNS. Do you know if Macs have
an issue resolving wild cards in dns.
For example. IT.Office.domain.edu in dns is really
*.office.domain.edu
Hi David,
I'm a little unclear on what you're asking. In DNS, the wildcard would
be on the server side. The request from the client is resolved on the
server side and the respective IP is passed back to the client. Since
the processing is on the server side, any client should be able to
resolve a hostname that maps to a wildcard A record just like any
other request. In fact, earlier this year I was using my mac as a test
machine for an article I was writing on network configurations which
utilize wildcard DNS. Worked as expected.
