| + | dnsmasq is a small domain name server designed to resolve host names on a LAN. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Wildcard Domains === | ||
| + | |||
| + | You may want to assign an actual domain to a hostname, to provide wildcard name resolution. | ||
| + | |||
| + | An example would be that a host could be named '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add an extra domain to ''/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | address=/ | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | OS X also uses mDNS to do hostname lookups, so you can add an entry for the server as well. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== OS X / homebrew ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | dnsmasq can be setup to do wildcard DNS resolution natively, instead of updating an '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | First, install dnsmasq with homebrew: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | brew install dnsmasq | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Install the sample config file: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | cp / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Add this to configuration file to disable DHCP server, and resolve subdomains locally: | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | no-dhcp-interface= | ||
| + | address=/ | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | cp / | ||
| + | launchctl load / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | Configure OS X to resolv all '' | ||
| + | |||
| + | < | ||
| + | mkdir -p / | ||
| + | echo nameserver 127.0.0.1 > / | ||
| + | </ | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== HOWTO ==== | ||

| + | - Stop '' | ||
