Wildcard DNS problem

[TomasVL]

A client of mine wants to install Wordpress MU with some kind of extension that requires wildcard DNS. I configured his account for use with wildcard DNS as explained here.

The client now reports that the subdomains sometimes work, and sometimes don't. Restarting named and httpd didn't solve the problem. At this moment, I can't reach his test subdomain either (http://olleke.j-h.be/social), but my client reports that he did succeed in opening the link successfully yesterday afternoon.

Ideas somebody?

There is no dns entry for olleke.j-h.be at ns2.confidus.be

Wildcard DNS can cause lots of problems; especially in conjunction with subdomains and CNAME entries. If you post your entire zone file one of us may be able to help you.

Your zonefile looks okay. I found a copy of one of the reference books I use online; the relevant page may be found here (http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/networking_2ndEd/dns/ch16_02.htm).
