Questions[wildcards](server)

I have a problem with this DNS configuration:

RecordType - Name              - Value
A            *.domain.com        1.1.1.1
A            *.sub.domain.com    2.2.2.2

I would like all subdomains of * .sub.domain.com to point to 2.2.2.2 and everything else to point to 1.1.1.1.

But i if I check test.sub.domain.com both records are active. That's not good.

opcode QUERY
rcode NOERROR
flags QR RD RA
;QUESTION
test.sub.domain.com. IN A
;ANSWER
test.sub.domain.com. 3599 IN A 1.1.1.1
test.sub.domain.com. 3599 IN A 2.2.2.2
;AUTHORITY
;ADDITIONAL

Any idea how to do it?

I'm trying to redirect language URLs that end with /?lang=da, /?lang=de and /?lang=nl to the same URL but ending in /?lang=en.

So

www.example.com/accommodation/hotel-room-1/?lang=da

should result in

www.example.com/accommodation/hotel-room-1/?lang=en

etc.

Is there a way to use wildcards for this?

I have a domain name set with wildcard for all subdomain (*.mydomain.com), I need of exclude a specific subdomain from this condition, I use a record dns for set wildcard and if I set a new record A for a specific subdomain it not work

I think the title says it all really, but to reiterate, I'd like to know how to configure Windows 2003 to allow a wildcard on a subdomain. So site1.sub.domain.tld and site2.sub.domain.tld should both go to the same IIS site, whose host header value is sub.domain.tld.

I've tried the following without success - sub.domain.tld works, but not site1.sub.domain.tld.

sub     A   my.ip.goes.here
*.sub   A   my.ip.goes.here

Thanks, Iain

This is a bit of an embarrassing question, but I have to admit that this late in my career I still have questions about the mv command.

I frequently have this problem: I need to move all files recursively up one level. Let's say I have folder foo, and a folder bar inside it. Bar has a mess of files and folders, including dot files and folders. How do I move everything in bar to the foo level?

If foo is empty, I simply move bar one level above, delete foo and rename bar into foo. Part of the problem is that I can't figure out what mv's wildcard for "everything including dots" is. A part of this question is this - is there an in-depth discussion of the wildcards that cp and mv commands use somewhere (googling this only brings very basic tutorials).
