How can I put my wildcards on of my cobalt raq 3?
Because I would like to offer unlimited subdomaind and I don't want to add every subdomain manually.
you cant do it on a cobalt raq, cobalt uses a rewrite rule that makes everything.domain go to http://www.domain however if thats what you want to do your dns manager should be able to accept a wildcard entry

I asked the same question about a week ago. Looks like there's no way you can do it because nobody answered my question. I just went and changed all config files directly. Have to do it every time you change something from Control Panel though. :(

i thought you could do it, i've seen alot of talk in the past about it on the cobalt mailing list..might want to double check, i think it can be done

it can be done... manually.
you have to log in Telnet or SSH, su to root and go to /etc/named
then figure out what domain you with to modify (let's call it mydomain.com).
The file containing the acual DNS data is pri.mydomain.com. Any changes you apply there will be overwritten. If you want additional custom changes, make a file called pri.mydomain.com.include and put your wanted record in there.
for example:
*.mydomain.com. IN A 123.123.123.123
