[Bug 769450] Re: Wildcards in hosts file

[Dave Gilbert]

I agree a more flexible /etc/hosts would be nice; I'd agree eglibc would probably be a good place to ask.
It's unlikely this would be fixed in ubuntu itself.

Title:
  Wildcards in hosts file

Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dear Ones,

  It would be great to be able to use wildcards in the hosts file like
  "127.0.0.1 *.localhost".

  I'm not sure what is the upstream for this. Is it EGLIBC? Perhaps
  glibc?

  Blessings,
  Shahar
