It would be great to be able to use wildcards in the hosts file like:

"127.0.0.1 *.localhost".

This could serve some flexibility for web developers on their local test
machines and such in testing name based virtual hosts in their system.
May have other uses...

Thanks,

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
