L.S.

Recently I came across a site http://www.startpagina.nl (sorry it's dutch).
It doesn't matter what subdomain I enter I always end up at the main site.
example : http://abcdefg.startpagina.nl

How do they do this ??
Anybody an idea ?

Within the header of http://abcdefg.startpagina.nl is a pointer to http://www.startpagina.nl.

If the above was coded in php http://abcdefg.startpagina.nl would look like this:
<?php
Header("Location: http://www.startpagina.nl ");
?>

It's done in the DNS server. It's just a wildcard so that any non-defined 3rd level points to www.

I do the same thing at my site with the following Apache directive:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html /index.php

The last entry uses my top-level index page if the others do not exist.
