How to configure Subdomain DNS settings

Posted August 4, 2014

Hello,

I want to know how to create sub domains manually. If we add wildcard settings to vhost apache2 conf what else we should do? For example apache2 vhost conf :

<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/test.com ServerName test.com ServerAlias *.test.com </VirtualHost>

I want to reach to website same directory if i enter try.test.com, lab.test.com whats the simplest dns settings for this? which dns server how to?

@ points to the ORIGIN which is usually your domain name.
