Yes. If apache gets to that after the wiki.centos.org and the
bugs.centos.org vhosts.
I'm with Manuel. I don't even see a reason for wildcard DNS anyway, just
go with
www.centos.org
wwww.centos.org
ww.centos.org
centos.org
and
mirror.centos.org
mirrors.centos.org
and
wiki.centos.org
and
bugs.centos.org
Because wildcard DNS also makes debugging harder. I have no problem with
people not reaching a website, if they can't type. So I'd rather find a
reasoning *for* the wildcards than talking about how to make the
experience better.
Because if I would type mirrors.centos.org instead of mirror.centos.org
and then would get the www.centos.org site instead of an error, I never
know I mistyped.
