Wildcard Subdomains

Question

I know there have been a few threads on this before, but I have tried absolutely everything suggested (that I could find) and nothing has worked for me thus far...

I realize that I'm pretty late responding to this question, but I had the same problem in regards to a local development solution. In another SO thread I found better solutions and thought I would share them for anyone with the same question in the future:

VMware owned wild card domain that resolves any subdomain to 127.0.0.1:

vcap.me resolves to 127.0.0.1
www.vcap.me resolves to 127.0.0.1

or for more versatility 37 Signals owns a domain to map any subdomain to any given IP using a specific format:

127.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 127.0.0.1
www.127.0.0.1.xip.io resolves to 127.0.0.1
db.192.168.0.1.xip.io resolves to 192.168.0.1
