Wildcard DNS should be a prosecutable crime, punishable by no less than 20 years of hard labor. (Edit: Probably should have made it clear that this was a joke)


Wildcard DNS helps me to handle multitenancy easily. What's wrong with it?


I don't see how wildcard DNS is related to this? Nor how it's bad?

dnsmasq has a really useful feature for dealing with this: --bogus-nxdomain
