I setup a wildcard A record on my domain registrar. Now if a user access a missing subdomain on my domain, they will be redirected to the homepage. Currently my initial setup was this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com$1 [R]
DocumentRoot /var/www
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
# more below...
</VirtualHost>
Any wildcard subdomain or if my IP is entered via URL will redirect to the homepage. Can I do something about this that will redirect (HTTP redirect perhaps) the wildcard subdomains to 404 page instead of to homepage?
