When i administer a Domain that i set to Local Nameservice and try to add a * Record .. i always get a Message stating that is not possible!? Why is that so!?

please define what you are trying to do with an example (we can't see your monitor) and what is your problem, not your solution.
Thank you

sorry!
Well for Example:
first i add a Domain to my Server 86.59.32.54 ::: 4tel.at
When adding, i choose the option ::: "Local DNS"
Now the domain is reachable when somone typs "http://4tel.at" or "http://www.4tel.at" into his browser. But i want the domain to be reachable under ANY subdomain someone typs by purpose or by mistake like for example : "http://ww.4tel.at"
Normally i configure my external Nameserver with a Line like : *.4tel.at in A 876.59.32.54 ; but this alone only brings the "wrong"typer to the Domain when it is the primary domain of a server. but i use many domains on each server.
Was this now understandable?

AFAIK, that's not supported by SME..
maybe you can achieve it via a custom template, but I'm not a dns guru

@not supported : but itz should be supported i think!
@Custom Template .. thanks for the tip! i will try ..

well, in that case open a NFR in bugzilla and think about sponsoring/donating..
we all here have requests about new features, enhancements and so on..
we "just" need 2 things:
- NFR in bugzilla
- resources (money/time)
nothing comes for free :)

Rudi,
who or what is your DNS server? Is it a domain registrar or local?

Well for Example:
first i add a Domain to my Server 86.59.32.54 ::: 4tel.at
I was able to add a wildcard host entry into an existing domain on my SME 8.1 server using:
db hosts set '*.a.localdomain.org' host ExternalIP '' HostType Self InternalIP '' MACAddress ''
signal-event remote-access update
sv t tinydns
sv t dnscache
NOTE: those are pairs of single quotes indicating empty arguments after ExternalIP, InternalIP and MACAddress
Afterwards I was able to browse to "x1.a.localdomain.org" from my LAN workstations and get the same wordpress site I get at "a.localdomain.org". I don't have any specific host entry for "x1.a.localdomain.org".
You may need to play with .htaccess for the underlying domain to get httpd to behave as you want it to -- I think Wordpress is doing this for me (redirecting me to the desired URL for this ibay).

Great, thanks! That was exactly what i was looking for!
I will test this and get back here with my experience!

so, at the end, seems like the feature is supported but from server-manager

Stefano,
can you explain what you mean please? Or what to do in server manager to get this done?
-
I mena that it seems to me that db/templating system already supports such a feature, but you can't create such a record from server-manager (I guess because of field validation)
hope I cleared enough

I think Stefano missed a word:

yes.. I wrote it while.. ahem, driving :-D
