Is there a way to put in a wild card setting in the hosts file? (WinNT/2000).

ie- can I remove the DNS settings from a machine, then in the hosts file add the specific ip addresses and URL names a user should be able to contact, and then have a setting like:

10.0.0.1 www.*.com

So that any other URL entered will hit 10.0.0.1?

This would make it possible to lock down a machine from entering unauthorized websites (unless the user was savvy enough to use a specific IP address for a site - I'm not concerned about that just yet).

(Oh, and I tried the above example, it doesn't work).
