Windows 10 has it. Try `nslookup whatever.localhost`
Is this some setting you have to enable? cause none of my 3 Windows 10/11 machines to hand do this, I just get the following error.
** one.one.one.one can't find whatever.localhost: Non-existent domain
Interesting.
Tried on Win10Home 21H2 (19044.1766) and it doesn't work.
On Win10Enterprise 21H2 (19044.1706) it works.
I cannot find a documentation reference on the feature of resolving *.localhost
Sorry guys, it turned out that our corporate DNS server is giving the answers. Once I disconnected from VPN, no longer did it work :(
Try with a trailing slash
whatever.localhost/
makes no difference, same error. ** one.one.one.one can't find whatever.localhost/: Non-existent domain
Shame, that used to be the old trick to get windows to resolve local domains
That may be a feature of your current DNS provider, not Windows.
Oh nice! Had no idea they added that behavior.
