how to set multi level sudomaining in apache

Question

I have a VPS with valid IP, in godaddy I set a subdomain to it, dev.mydomain.com ,I want to have some subdomain in this sub domain, I mean multi level subdomaining , as example I want to have site1.dev.mydomain.com and site2.dev.mydomain.com.

I want to know is possible that we handle this subdomains without set DNS for them in godaddy and handle level 2 subdomaining only with apache in VPS?

and if I set a wildcard subdomain in goddady , I mean *.dev.mydomain.com then is it possible?

No, in general you need DNS entries (at least one wildcard entry as per your comment) so that the clients know where to look when they call the domain name.

Only for strictly local dev purposes, you might get away with defining entries in your hosts file on the client. This would need to be done on every client and usually don't work on mobile devices where you can't always make this setting.

tnx for you attention, so if I set wildcard submomain in godaddy? I mean set a record for `*.dev.mydomain.com`, then it is possible now? – Yuseferi Jun 13 '16 at 08:02
