What does your vHosts look like in httpd.conf? Do they look something like what I have posted below? And by Wildcard, are we talking sub-domains here?

Code:

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName  [URL="http://www.example.com/"]www.example.com[/URL]
     [B]ServerAlias example.com
[/B]
        DirectoryIndex index.html 
        DocumentRoot /home/www/[URL="http://www.example.com/htdocs"]www.example.com/htdocs[/URL]

    ....
</VirtualHost>

Ok i have domain: domain.com and subdomain forum.domain.com
I disabled forum and past 1 month i realized that google indexed forum.forum.forum.forum.forum.forum.forum..domain.com (wtf?).

When i type whatever.domain.com i dont get 404 but my domain.com content...

Vhost entry looks like this:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName domain.com
DirectoryIndex index.html
DocumentRoot /home/www/domain.com

....
</VirtualHost>

Add:
ServerAlias domain.com
under:
ServerName

that will remove whatever.domain.com
