DNS and Virtual Folders

[belick]

I want to use my domain and have it for all my testing. my domain is domain.com and I wanted to assign a A recored to point it to my static ip so I did: dev.domainname.com -> XX.XX.XX.XX

then I added another record for: *.dev.domainname.com so I can use

site1.dev.domainame.com, site2.dev.domainame.com etc...

My questions are:

1. it that correct?
2. how do I have it in the apache conf file?

Thanks

Well, to help we need more infos:
- your current vhost configuration
- the complete line(s) from the error.log.
