I have tryed to configure this with linuxconf and Manualy, But I cant seem to get the * wildcard to work, or "www"

This is what my configuration file looks like:

$TTL 43200
@ IN SOA cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com. hostmaster.cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com. (
2001091809 ; serial
1H ; refresh
15 ; retry
14D ; expire
12H ; default_ttl
)
@ IN MX 5 cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.
@ IN NS cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.
@ IN A 24.112.126.141
atlana IN A 24.112.126.141
atlana IN NS cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.
atlana IN MX 5 cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.
www IN CNAME atlana
* IN CNAME atlana


I also tryed to configure 'www' without a CNAME aswell as the *, but I though it would be easier just to use CNAMEs...

At one point the 'www' worked but the actual domain diddnt >.< So I erased it and started over, now I have the exact opposit Problem.

"Atlana" works.
"www" doesnt work.
"*" doesnt work.
Anything else I may add doesnt work either.

Sorry for the confusing Writeup, I am alittle sleepy >.< If you need more information, just ask.

1) Change 15 ; retry to 6H ;retry
2) Remove the following two lines

atlana IN NS cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.
atlana IN MX 5 cr246538-a.surrey1.bc.wave.home.com.

3) Change the following two lines:

www IN CNAME atlana
* IN CNAME atlana

to:

www IN A 24.112.126.141
* IN A 24.112.126.141

Don't use CNAME as it was obsolete ever since it was first used.

4) Set your refresh higher.
