multiple domain name parsing problem

[VVIPI]

Is it possbile to config DNS to achieve this goal:
www.dnstest.com will be parsed to one IP, and all the others such as
sitex.dnstest.com except www.dnstest.com will be parsed to another IP?

The number of other URLs such as site1.dnstest.com, site2.dnstest.com, ...,
siteX.dnstest.com could be very large, so it's impossible to add each of
them manually as hosts to the DNS Zone "dnstest.com".

This means that if I request any URL such as randomname.dnstest.com which is
not defined in myDNS server, it will be parsed to point to the second IP.

Thanks!

Yes. In the zone dnstest.com, create the www record pointing at the proper site. Then create a wildcard host record name * and
point it at the other IP address.

Thank you,
