Ok, so I'm new to this whole RaQ server thing. :) My question is, how do you make it automatically accept any subdomains under my domain name. I.e. similar to
ServerAlias *.domain.com
in Apache config and
*.domain.com. IN CNAME domain.com.; GLOBALOK
in DNS configuration. Can't seem to be able to make it understand * in the corresponding Control Panel fields. Can I just go and change the corresponding config files directly, will it confuse the hell out of Control Panel?

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Once you have wildcarded the domain (DNS), you should set it to either resolve to the IP address of the main domain (then redirect it via a script of some sort, if that's what you want to do), or to the server IP address so that you can make up new subdomains on the fly and not have to worry about DNS'ing them.
Am I close?

I would like to be able to access my website from any subdomain. I.e. both foo.domain.com and bar.domain.com would be pointing to the same site as http://www.domain.com. I don't need redirection, it should all point to the same directory.
And my problem is that I don't know how to configure RaQ via that Control Panel thingy to do that -- it doesn't accept * as a name of the virtual server, naturally.
With normal Linux box I would just use ServerAlias and DNS as I described above. How do I do it on RaQ?

This is a DNS issue. If you wildcard the domain to point to the IP address then you should be all set. Maybe you can set a wildcard CNAME to point to the main site? Are you using the RaQ itself to run DNS, or another server/service?
