Originally created by @danmandle on GitHub (Oct 28, 2019).

When trying to update *.exampledomain.com, I the following error message:

{"level":"WARN","ts":"2019-10-29T00:32:30.973Z","msg":"invalid domain name format for settings {"domain":"*.exampledomain.com","host":"@","provider":"dreamhost"}","node_id":0}`

Config:

{
"provider": "dreamhost",
"domain": "*.exampledomain.com",
"ip_method": "duckduckgo",
"key": "XXXXXXX"
}

Current workaround: CNAME *.exampledomain.com > exampledomain.com

It should have the domain exampledomain.com and host *. Also I'm not sure it works with CNAME, it's meant to work with A records only as I recall. Let me know if it works, thanks!

Thanks for the lighting fast response! It was set to an A record when testing, CNAME as workaround. Updating to host: * fixed the error message. Not sure if it actually updated the record, but that may have been due to rapid DNS changes. Will verify later.

I may have gotten my hopes up too soon. The error has gone away, but the value isn't changing.

Is it working now? You might need to give it some time to update.
