Not sure what WHM is but normally when you use DNS you can just add *.domain.com and it'll work

My post is the same as the guys above. But i'm just curious what WHM is. I'm looking for a new DNS admin.

do you have shell access to edit the zone file (assuming its running linux) and edit it manually like so:

*. 14400 IN A <your ip address>

- also make sure to increment the serial up by one and then restart or reload named service.

ex zone file:

; Modified by Web Host Manager
; Zone File for yourdomain.com
$TTL 14400
@ 86400 IN SOA ns1.yourdomain.com.
yourdomain.com.
(
2006042400
86400
7200
3600000
86400
)

yourdomain.com. 86400 IN NS ns1.yourdomain.com.
yourdomain.com. 86400 IN NS ns2.yourdomain.com.

yourdomain.com. 14400 IN A <your ip address>

localhost.yourdomain.com. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1

yourdomain.com. 14400 IN MX 10 mail.yourdomain.com.

mail 14400 IN A <your ip address>
www 14400 IN CNAME yourdomain.com.
ftp 14400 IN A <your ip address>
ns1 14400 IN A <your ip address>
ns2 14400 IN A <your ip address>
*. 14400 IN A <your ip address>

# service named restart
