When the domain comes online and you have access to the dns settings, you need to setup something like the following (having not used or seen OVH's domain panel I can't explain directly):

Code:
www A 123.123.123.123
where:
"www" is the subdomain name
"A" is the record type
"123.123.123.123" is your servers ip

You will need to add a record for each of the following subdomains:

"" (blank)
"www"
"*" or "@" (for wrong subdomains to be read and pointed to your server (not required, but handy))


If you have a hard time understanding let me know.
