Route53 wildcard issue

4

I am new to AWS Route53 and I got stuck in a problem and I cant really understand the issue.

I have created one hosted zone in Route53. Under that I have created some record sets. I have two private servers. Say one with ip 192.168.1.2 and the other 192.168.1.3. The first server .2 hosts various number of sites and the second one not as much.

So I wanted to to set the record set for the first server with a wildcard. I set something like

*.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.2
a.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.3
b.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.3
c.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.3
d.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.3

As you can see I am ok to specify sub domains pointing to .3 but for .2 I need to set wildcard. Everything works fine if specify the sub domain and point it to .2 but wildcard fails.

e.tp.example.com    A    192.168.1.2 //this works fine

Is this possible to do or am I missing out something? Thanks for the help :)

For what it's worth, this configuration should work as expected. Are you verifying Route53 behavior using dig? – Michael - sqlbot – 2016-08-22T09:43:29.040

Did you get this working? I'm also having the same issue. – Елин Й. – 2017-12-12T11:15:44.750

@ЕлинЙ. Yes i got this working. You can specify wildcards in AWS. – Harry Bomrah – 2017-12-12T11:18:02.840

It turned out that it was the DNS cache on our in house DNS Server. – Елин Й. – 2017-12-12T11:20:41.853
