wildcard in hosts file

Question

It\'s not possible to use a wildcard in the hosts file on windows or linux. Is there a way to do it with a browser plugin or something else?

I have a dev server on a vbo

I made this simple tool to take the place of hosts. Regular expressions are supported. https://github.com/stackia/DNSAgent Windows only. Probably working with Mono.

A sample configuration:

[
    {
        "Pattern": "^.*$",
        "NameServer": "8.8.8.8"
    },
    {
        "Pattern": "^(.*\\.googlevideo\\.com)|((.*\\.)?(youtube|ytimg)\\.com)$",
        "Address": "203.66.168.119"
    },
    {
        "Pattern": "^.*\\.cn$",
        "NameServer": "114.114.114.114"
    },
    {
        "Pattern": "baidu.com$",
        "Address": "127.0.0.1"
    }
]
