Bind9 Wildcards!

[absss]

Hey guys,

I'm new to these forums and need some help on configuring the dns server bind.

Basically what i want to accomplish in my local home network is to create a DNS Server that will take ANY request by the user and resolve it to a single IP address (my webserver).

I have it working properly if you go to a domain such as www.google.com, it will redirect to my webserver. But it doesnt work if you have file paths in your web address for example www.google.com/path/here/filename.html. By typing that address in the browser, you are sent back what i believe to be an nxdomain error. It cannot find the URL requested with paths.

/etc/bind/named.conf:
zone "." {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.bhole";
};

/etc/bind/db.bhole:
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA . root.localhost. (
1 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL

IN NS .
*. IN A 192.168.1.103 ; IP Address of web server

Im trying to achieve a captive portal type solution with the resources and time frame i have. I don't need the internet to work - i just need to redirect all requests by the user to my webpage.

Solution: The url paths arent read by the dns server and it passes the paths and filenames to the server it resolved to. And seeing those paths and pages probably wont be on the web server youre resolving to, then its sending a 404 error.

You need to create an error document for 404 errors that redirect to your web server.
