I'm just going to take a wild stab at this and guess this won't work. First, realize that in order to get your domain to resolve, you need two things:

DNS zone files set up correctly, and then the server set up correctly. Without both, this won't work.

If you are pointing your domain to a dedicated IP address at hypermart, you will have an better time with this. Simply point your domain to that dedicated IP address and add an A RECORD for 'www' also pointing to the IP address. Also, if you want subdomains (wildcarded), then you should set this up to (you guessed it), point to the IP address.

From here, you will need a script to direct the subdomains people type in (well, there's not one way to do this really, but...)

If you do NOT have a dedicated IP address, then you will be pointing your domain to hypermart's server, and it MUST be set up on the server and the whole thing gets more complicated.

i'll just do sub directory redirection :)
