 * I want to have a subdomain setup on Nginx. And I have the following configuration
   following the example from [http://wiki.nginx.org/Wordpress](http://wiki.nginx.org/Wordpress).
   I’m using fastCGI as well
 *     ```
       map $http_host $blogid {
       	default		-999;
       }
   
       server {
       	root		/var/www/wordpress;
       	index		index.php;
       	listen		127.0.0.1:80;
       	server_name	idu.host *.idu.host;
       	charset		utf-8;
   
       	location / {
       		index		index.php;
       		try_files	$uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
       	}
   
       	location ~ /\.ht {
       		deny		all;
       	}
   
       	location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|gif|swf|ico|pdf|mov|fla|zip|rar)$ {
       		try_files	$uri = 404;
       		expires		max;
       		log_not_found	off;
       	}
   
       	location ~ ^/files/(.*)$ {
       		try_files /wp-content/blogs.dir/$blogid/$uri /wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$1;
       		access_log	off;
       		expires		max;
       		log_not_found	off;
       	}
   
       	location ^~ /blogs.dir {
       		internal;
       		alias /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/blogs.dir;
       		access_log	off;
       		expires		max;
       		log_not_found	off;
       	}
   
       	location ~ \.php$ {
       		include		/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
       		fastcgi_pass	127.0.0.1:9000;
       		fastcgi_index	index.php;
       		fastcgi_pass	php;
       		fastcgi_intercept_errors	on;
       	}
       }
       ```
   
 * But when I go to idu.host, the DNS lookup didn’t occur.
