I am developing an application where every user has a subdomain

xyz.alumclub.net

where the xyz will take him to his subdomain.

For the above alumclub.net, I am trying to set up the blog at blog.alumclub.net.

  1. I have created another A record:

    blog.alumclub.net A 192.168.0.100

  2. But the above is not coming into effect because of the rule

    *.alumclub.net -> 192.168.0.200

Because of rule 2, blog.domainname.com is not going to my blog hosted on posterous (http://alumclub.posterous.com/) instead it is going to my server and treating the blog as subdomain of user.

How can I solve this problem? Is it possible to solve?

    Please rewrite your question with real names and addresses. Reading all these hypothetical addresses makes my head hurt.

As womble and Michael Graff wrote, your question is extremely confused. I cannot parse it entirely but I can try to point some issues:

  1. Is the domain alumclub.NET or alumclub.COM ? You used both and it is hard to know if it is significant.
  2. DNS wildcards do not have precedence over ordinary names so, unlike what you wrote, *.alumclub.net does not block blog.alumclub.net

So, there is no reason it should not work. Try it, and, if it fails, post details: real domain names, actual config, actual error messages, not vague summaries.
