What Does “DNS Server Not Responding“ Mean? DNS Server Not Responding error means that your browser was unable to connect to the internet or the DNS of the domain you're trying to reach are unavailable. In order to resolve it, restart your router or modem, check for network issues and update your browser.

Acrylic is a local DNS proxy which improves the performance of your computer by caching the responses coming from your DNS servers.
I found it to work flawless on every Windows system from XP up to Win8, and it's open source.
And yes, it supports wildcards... it even supports regex for domain names.
There is an XP version of Bind, probably running as a Windows service.
You can use Microsoft DNS if you are using Windows Server (except Web edition). Or install a Simple DNS Plus trial (14 day) if you don't manage with BIND.
Dual DHCP DNS Server is my favorite when it comes to forwarding domains to your computer. Also good to stop ads that runs on some programs. It also excepts wildcards and works on Windows 8.
