Hi,

I have been playing with the multisite Drupal, but I cannot get the DNS settings right, so maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

I have and old domain, partyfashion.net It contains a devel site HEAD, with multisiste patches.

I used to have: partyfashion.net. A 82.138.75.23 www.partyfashion.net. CNAME partyfashion.net.

which showed me the multisite thing worked: sites/www.partyfashion.net/ and sites.partyfashion.net were called differently.

Now I added a qrio.partyfashion.net. CNAME partyfashion.net. but from then on things weant wrong. qrio.partyfashion.net now points to 82.138.75.23, which is (or seems to be) the basedir of the host. This is wrong. After fiddling around a bit, i broke things even more: www.partyfashion.net. CNAME partyfashion.net. is still in place, but the www one now also points to the wrong direction.

So far the explanation. Can anyone tell me: * what type of DNS (PTR, A, CNAME etc) I need to point a foo.mydomain.com to mydomain.com, where the multisiste drupal resides. * if its possible to use wildcards: e.g. *.partyfashion.net. CNAME partyfashion.net. should get the settings from the multisite drupal. I only have to add a folder in the sites dir, and no not have to go to my dns settings everytime * What type of settings I would need for a complete new domainame: e.g. if i want foobar.com to use my multisite Drupal living in partyfashio.net.

If i manage to get my settings right, with some help. And if I start understanding the DNS basics with that help, I will make this into a handbook page: DNS settings for multisite Drupal.
