Bug ID: 18123
Summary: allow wildcards in /etc/hosts
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: god12 at niksula dot hut.fi
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
Currently only trivial entries are allowed in /etc/hosts:
0.0.0.0 s.adframesrc.com
0.0.0.0 p.adframesrc.com
...
are allowed in /etc/hosts
For pinning all the subdomains to a give ip one have to run DNS server which
seems like huge waste of resources for such a simple job.
Would be much better to extend glibc to parse simple wildcard entries whne
performing name resolution so the entries above could be substituted with
single line:
0.0.0.0 *.adframesrc.com
This would simplify configuration and maintenance (no need to run dedicated
daemon) in many cases, not only ad-blocking.
