Hi,
I’ve got a multi-site wordpress setup working well.
Currently I have
http://mydomain.com http://site1.mydomain.com http://site2.mydomain.com
This works well. But my DNS is setup as a wildcard DNS - so if someone tries to visit site3.mydomain.com - it takes them to the wordpress registration page (which is disabled). I want it to throw a 404 instead.
So I tried to remove the wildcard DNS, and specify an A record for each site - but now it just takes me to the home page.
Any idea how I can do this correctly?
