Guide to setup Wordpress MU with EditDNS

Hey all,

I am trying to set up a blog farm and need a little bit of guidance. My goal is to setup wildcard subdomains that map to different ips. So for example 1.xxx.com maps to 1.1.1.1 and 2.xxx.com maps to 1.1.2.2 and etc..

I read rjhere's guide on dp forums, however, I need some clarification. I tried to contact him but to no avail. Here's what he said:

I am going to go through the steps in turning this on with a dedicated IP address. I use a secondary name server at http://www.editdns.net . It's free and very reliable. What this allows you to do is to point your *.yourdomain.com to your dedicated IP.

Simply add the domain you chose and it will create the basic dns entries. Edit the "A" record IP addresses to go to your dedicated IP.

Then ADD a new "A" record with *.yourdomain.com pointing to your dedicated IP.

Click to expand...

Here's what I did. I created an account with editdns.net; I then proceeded to add my subdomain, let's say 1.xxx.com.

I immediately changed the A record and put my ip address there. Did I do everything correctly?

What I fail to understand is the last step, where rjhere mentioned to add a new "a" record with *.yourdomain.com pointing to your dedicated IP...didn't I just do that?

If someone can make this more clear I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

editdns is for use if you don;t have access to change A Records (some registrars are a little behind). So if you do have access to A records, then just set them up individually with out using editdns.
