WoW gaining dns support, AND a memory increase in one day? Now thats what i call service :D

Now onto the testing...

adding a new domain: frankish.com.au works, however "our-lan.com" results in an invalid hostname error. I would imaging this has something todo with the "-" in it.

Also will there be wildcard support? ie map *.our-lan.com to one ip, but still allow say bob.our-lan.com to be pointed to another?

Fixed. This was already in there, but somehow I reverted it.

Yes, it should work now, although the regex isn't perfect yet.

I'm trying to migrate my DNS to Linode, but the DNS manager is complaining when I try to point *.domain.tld to domain.tld. It says "Invalid hostname *.domain.tld". Any ideas?

In the CNAME section? I'll look tonight -- should be an easy fix.

As a work around, you could just enter it in as an A record with your domain's IP.

CNAME section, yes. Thanks, I'll use your workaround in the meantime.
