Well then, you need to move *server into a domain of its own, probably
into your lan TLD.

The reason it probably doesn't work on Windows is because IE will add a
suffix (.com, .net, .org) to anything without a TLD. It's quite
braindead. I'm glad I don't have to mess with that shite much.

PS. What does the following output

dig +short -t A linuxserver
