Give Users Their Own Subdomain

I'm following the receipe in the new "Advanced Rails Receipes" book to allow my users to have username.myapp.com

I'm stuck on this part:
In a production environment, you will of course want to set up your DNS server. You should create an A record for your www.example.com domain. Then create a CNAME record for *.example.com that points to www.example.com.

I went into my cPanel but it will not allow me create *.example.com because it doesn't allow special characters.

Anybody had success with this?

Hello,

>create a CNAME record for *.example.com that points to www.example.com.

We can set the wild card DNS entries (*.example.com) for you from our end. You cannot set them via Cpanel. Please post us a support ticket to set the wild card Dns for your domain-name.
