Im just setting up a Hotspot that will simply direct customers to a advert page - no login process, simply sends them to a page on a local server.
Im seeing a problem though in that because the DNS server on the Mikrotik cannot resolve what the customer is asking for, it times out and the user does not see the page. If you type an IP address into the web browser, then the hotspot takes over and end user goes to the correct page.
Is there any way of adding a catch all DNS entry on the mikrotik, so that regardless of what page the user is trying to resolve, mikrotik returns a entry which will cause them to go to the web page. I cannot add a forwarder DNS Server to resolve these as the site has no internet connection.
Rather than futz around with negative lookaheads it would be easier if you made your other static entries regex as well - regex entries are evaluated first, but they are evaluated in order top to bottom. If you simply convert your existing records into regexes by adding a character class (e.g., using [aA]bc.com instead of abc.com) without changing functionality you should be up and running.
