Hi,
In BIND Zone files (not sure about MS DNS as I don't use it) you can use
wildcards,
i.e. in the be.kz zone file:
* IN A x.x.x.x
Is a valid entry which, in the absense of an actual A(ddress) or CNAME
record for a particular name will respond to any request for
absolutelyanything.be.kz with the ip address x.x.x.x
If there is an entry like:
www IN A x.x.x.y
Then this will take preference over the wildcard entry and x.x.x.y will be
returned instead.
Cheers
Phil
btw, IIRC A=Address not Alias ;-)

Use a CNAME record for the new domain to point to the domain you want to be
displayed.
A (Alias) is the actual domain, CNAME (Canonical Name) is used to point to
an A record. It's the wrong way round but that's the way it is.
