Any way to make bind resolve any request to same IP?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to configure bind so that any request it gets will resolve back to a IP of my choosing.

For example client on LAN wants to go to yahoo, google, etc.. and instead of giving the correct results for any domain it will return 192.168.0.1.

Thanks

No exactly an answer to your question, but:

If the clients you are trying to fool are Windows clients, I found that if you setup Internet Explorer to use a proxy server, and then set the IP of the proxy server to be your webserver, any URL you type will bring you to the webserver you setup as the proxy.

I don't know if that will work on Linux though, I never tried.

It needs to be done without touching the client side, and be as seamless as possible. I remeber reading a article on setting up wildcards in bind that would do this, but can't seem to find it.

I think i know how to do it now.. Just create A records using "*"s

example.

*.com.
*.net.

You might want to look into a more light-weight DNS server, since it won't actually be doing much.
