Wildcard DDNS

[fabioq]

Is it possible to use a wildcard for DDNS.
For example, I have the following domain:

host .fabiosbook.com
@ Dynamic DNS - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www URL redirect - http://fabiosbook.com

it would be nice to do this instead:

* Dynamic DNS - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
so I wouldn't have to redirect the www

Ok, I was reading a bit on the DirectUpdate (DDNS client) forum and apparently I can do either of the the following:

@ Dynamic DNS - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www Alias (CNAME) - http://fabiosbook.com

This seems similar to my URL redirect...is this better that the URL redirect?

The following apparently can be done in ZoneEdit, but will either need two separate updates from DirectUpdate or directupdate can apparently do the wildcard update to handle both with a single update by making the host "*.fabiosbook.com" which will update both records below.
The question is, which is better and or faster?

@ Dynamic DNS - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
www Dynamic DNS - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

you can dynamically update the root domain with the @ sign and wildcard with the * sign.. that generally works best for DDNS.
