Hi there! I am working on a "public access project", where someone could log on to my wifi hotspot, and as soon as they open their browser and go to any website, it brings them to a page of my creation (this hotspot is going to run IRC and some other collaberation services, and no internet access). All that I need to know is how to set up a catch-all DNS record in windows server 2003. It also needs to let requests to www.thecubed.com pass to ip address 10.1.0.3 and all others to 10.1.0.2 Thanks much! (sorry if my thoughts are jumbled :)

ok, if there isn't a simple way to do this in the Windows 2003 manager, does anyone know how to do this with treewalk dns manager? Help appreciated :) Thank you for your time

this is not a dns configuration issue. You have to load iis and build a internal web page that iis will host on your intranet.

i already have the pages created in IIS, it just needs to be so that any webpage (aka google.com or whatever) brings them to my page. I have IIS listening on the ip addresses that I want it to. Example: this computer will have no internet connectivity, yet it will function as a wireless hotspot, providing information for users, as like a collaberation service. A user opens his browser window and goes to www.aol.com, which should then (since there is no internet connectivity outside of this hotspot) bring them to 10.1.0.2 which is the page for "Welcome to Hotspot, please choose something below". A user then tries to go to www.thecubed.com and it goes to 10.1.0.3 which is a local copy of my website, thecubed.com . My thought was to create a "captive portal" for users to collaberate and find information about TheCubed wirelessly, but I do not want internet connectivity - hence why I am hosting my own DNS server. (I also am hosting DNS and IIS and FTP and IRC for the collaberation services). Like I said, I have the pages that go in IIS, I just need to redirect every request for a website back to my IP address. Thank you for the reply! :)
