Wild Card

[Challenge]

When you setup a wild card DNS for a domain and then add a subdomain on this account, will the wild card work for this subdomain ? Please give reasons for the answer.

Yes the wildcard DNS will work for this subdomain as well.
Not sure if this will override the problem but we can try adding the VirtualHost entry for this subdomain before the main domain entry as Apache works on the rule first in first out so I think subdomain will work.

If it's not working you will have to modify the zone file which will have *.domainname.com as last entry so that it will take that at last. If subdomain is present then it will go as per it's A record and If that subdomian is not present in the record then it will go as per the wildcard entry.
Always put *.domainnanme.com at end in zone file.

It will work for it as long as you have added the subdomain in if you are having problems the answer might depend what you are using. Do you use cPanal?

The term wild card was originally used in card games, but the term has evolved to describe an unpredictable factor in any number of domains.
