[JDEV] Custom messages/extensions

Wed Jul 31 05:58:31 CDT 2002

Hi Everyone,

I have never ever done anything with the DNS and the funny thing is I am
in the middle of something that needs me to do something with it and
also really fast.

I need to do :

I need to make subdomains on the fly   like say the main server is
abc.com, then when a script runs it should be able to create
<username>.abc.com

Can someone please help me out, and please I have no clue to what one
needs to do here.

Regards,
Paul Alapatt

Hi Mark,

Message is not really appropriate for what you want to use it for, IQ is
the place you should be putting your extensions, in messages you can
only add x elements into the message and you certainly shouldnt be
defining new message types.
