DNS wildcards for named.conf and Apache are working (almost)

I have about 4000 domains, and wanted to make a generic DNS and Apache configuration that will take ANY domain and park it without having to make an account and park it in Cpanel. This way, any idle domains I have can show ads and content (like godaddy does or any parking service does for that matter)

I have it working too...almost!

1) The configuration allows me to have any domain show a parking page, even if that domain doesn't have an account. This is working fine.

2) Strangely, this new configuration disables the file_get_contents function and the curl function(s).

Does anyone have ideas on why file_get_contents would stop working with the configuration below? How do I fix it so I can park domains, and still have the file_get_contents function working?

Here is the addition to my named.conf file:
Code:
named.conf:

zone "." {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/parking.db";
};
The associated /var/named/parking.db database file:
Code:
/var/named/parking.db:

$TTL    604800
@      86400    IN      SOA     ns1.ryd0.com. john.mccarthy.net. (
                              1         ; Serial
                         604800         ; Refresh
                          86400         ; Retry
                        2419200         ; Expire
                         604800 )       ; Negative Cache TTL

        IN      NS      .
*.      IN      A       204.15.192.194

;@      86400   IN      SOA     ns1.ryd0.com. john.mccarthy.net. (
And the additions to my httpd.conf file
Code:
<VirtualHost 204.15.192.194:80>
    ServerAlias *
    DocumentRoot /home/photof/public_html

    ...more stuff deleted...
</VirtualHost>
Not only does this park domain.com, but it also parks http://www.domain.com, or whatever.domain.com etc etc...

Again, this is working, but it seems to disable file_get_contents. Can I make a second DNS zone that will fix this?

Ideas anyone?
