RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Technically, this is not a wildcard.  Wildcards are master zone file concept and not visible on the wire and to clients, and they cannot be used on the RHS of a CNAME.  RFC 1034 is ambiguous to whether this is valid or not because “*” is not a valid character in host names.

*** Bug 1677525 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

The Red Hat Platform Tools glibc team has reviewed this request and we will not be fixing this in RHEL 7.9. Consensus upstream is not decided and further work is required. Given that RHEL 7 is entering Maintenance Support 2 we feel that any change like this could be disruptive to existing installations. Instead we will track this in upstream glibc and try to resolve it there.
