Wildcard Host Header Binding And Subdomains with IIS7

Wondering why you can’t do wildcard host header binding in IIS7?  I was too, and I dound this great article on wildcard host header binding and subdomains in IIS7 at Dirk.net In short, you need a dedicated IP address for the site if you want to do it.  With the shortage of IP addresses, it’s probably not likely for a small Web site. The post also references this forum thread on IIS.net on the topic, with a pretty lame response from someone at Microsoft.  Here’s to it being added in the future!
