Can I set different IP to second level sub-domain?

Question

I'm trying to set a A records to this domain: *.mydomain.com A 1.1.1.1 That will be different from this sub-domain: *.*.mydomain A 2.2.2.2

But it's not working for me. And I always get the first IP when I ping it. We're using AWS route 53 DNS

Thanks

You need to provide much more information. If you are using cpanel or the like your question will be closed. In general such a configuration is possible. — Mark Wagner, Mar 07 '19 at 00:17

I can't find it right now, but IIRC you can't use multiple wildcards in a DNS record. — Gerald Schneider, Mar 07 '19 at 07:59

DNS wildcards are discussed in RFCs 1034 and 4592. While neither document explicitly calls out the case of multiple wildcards, most interpretations seem to conclude that multiple wildcards are not permitted.

Beyond that, you'll have to ask AWS Route 53 for clarification of how they choose to interpret DNS wildcards.
