make a wildcrd in hosts file? possible?
This is a discussion about make a wildcrd in hosts file? possible? in the Windows Networking category; ive been using my hosts file to block bad stuff. For example I have blocked by routing to 127. 0. 0. 1 I would like to route *. baddomain. com to 127. 0. 0. 1 I tried this with a ping hgjtdgvje.

Can windows DNS server support wildcards? this could be a solution for me. (I have a windows server in my home.
If you setup your DNS server to be authoritative for a given zone, it will return results for any record in that zone. This behavior includes host names and subdomains for that zone. So, if you are looking for a record in somedomain.com, and your server is hosting that zone, it will state if that record is available or not. Therefore, you can setup that zone with no records in it and any system using that DNS server will never find valid hosts in it.
