windows HOSTS file setup

in my windows HOSTS file, I added
127.0.0.1 abc.com
and it works fine for me.

How can I setup so that I can use [anystring].abc.com?

Thanks,
Sachin

You would have to list each one. No wildcards will work.

Thanks. Any other solution to this issue?
Basically, I have a php application running on apache and want that any URL like x.abc.com [x can be anything] works. I can trap the URL and then do whatever i want.
