Talk:Wildcard DNS record

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The reaosn why MaraDNS handles wildcard the way Mara does is because of how I set up the data structures; as it turns out, the 1.2 release has revised the data structures to be able to be fully-RFC-compliant in this regard. However, in light of this article, I don't think I will make this change.

I get the sense, from reading the wildcards part of RFC1034, that Paul was just codifying in an RFC the consequence of how an early DNS server stored its records in memory. Samboy 09:20, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

As of MaraDNS 1.2.02, MaraDNS now has the ability to optionally handle wildcards in a more RFC-compliant manner. I've changed this page to reflect this fact. Samboy 18:17, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
