Just be careful of what you wish for, don't come back here saying that your resolver search path is no longer working ;-)

To explain, lets say you use the above in example.com and configure clients with 'search example.com another.com someother.com' in resolv.conf. A resolver looking for 'test', hoping to find it as 'test.another.com' would query the name server for test.example.com first and get back 'test.example.com IN A 1.2.3.4.'.

Dear list,

I tried googling about a Catch-All setup for a DNS, with little success. I tried messing around with some zone/hint files in an isolated setup, but without any success.

What I am trying to achieve is the following:

No matter which host/name is looked up, the DNS should spit out the same IP address. The intention is to bring the users to a specific webserver/webpage, not matter what web page the intend to surf to, for the easiness of setting up their connection. The basic idea is, unauthenticated clients will be put in an isolated network, users then pop up their web browser, will land on a specific webpage with instructions on which steps they need to take, to get proper access.

I tried to create a "*" zone, which seems to be ignored by bind, or rather bind doesn't like the contents of the zone file.

I'd appreciate any pointer to some information, how I can tweak bind to do such a thing.

With best regards

-Sven
