Catch all URL's and Point to the same IP

Hello,



How can I configure Windows 2000 DNS to catch all DNS query and point them
to the same IP.

On BIND I think there is a feature called BOGUSNS but on Microsoft I can't
find anything.



Can someone help me?



Thanks,
 
You can't do that with MS DNS. I've never heard of it on BIND either, but
that doesn't mean it can't do it. :)

Probably can configure something similar to what Verisign was doing back in
Sept to catch all the non real domains that they were sending to their own
search page before ISC told them to quit it.

Yes, one can. It's a simple exercise in creating a wildcard. Of course, it's
an exceedingly unwise thing to do, because one has to know the complete extent
and ramifications of what one is actually doing and because properly
configuring an entire system where such a wildcard is used actually requires a
surprisingly large amount of work. (Given the original poster's conflation of
Internet with the World Wide Web, it seems probable that he doesn't know what
such a thing would entail, and probably wouldn't expend the effort necessary
to configure the entire system properly and deal with all of the
consequences.) But unwise is not the same as impossible.

You very probably have. ISC's BIND supports wildcards, too. (His mentioning
of "bogusns" is a red herring, because that directive has nothing to do with
what he actually asked how to achieve.)
