title: "Wildcard Domains in PiHole"

As of this time of writing, the current version of PiHole (5.0) supports adding custom DNS records, but not wildcard records. This makes it annoying if you run a bunch of different services within your LAN following a certain pattern.
Though since PiHole runs on top of `dnsmasq` it is easy to add an additional configuration file to point a domain containing `example.com` to a specific ip.
If you look in `/etc/dnsmasq.d/` there are the files `01-pihole.conf` and `02-pihole-dhcp.conf`. For our wildcard record, we're going to add a new file `03-custom-dns.conf`. Let's have an example where we want to map `example.com` and `*.example.com` to `192.168.0.10`.
```
address=/example.com/192.168.0.10
```
Once you save, restart the container or box and you will then have the wildcard record!
