adding a * record to windows dns 1

[GerritR]

Can anyone tell if, and how I can add an A record '*' in mij forward lookup zone.

So what I want is to be able to resolve any request to my domain, even if it has not an own A record.

Thanks for the help, but this I already knew.
It doesnot describe how to add a wildcard record to the dns.
Dns just wont accept a * to be filled in.

Maybe someone knows a workaround?

thanks

Actually opened this page while searching for the answer, but found the answer before I got to this page--

The strangeness is you create * as a new domain under the domain you want to be wildcarded, then create a "blank" host under the * domain with the actual ip. It will give you a warning, but click through that.
