Configure local wildcard DNS server

  1. Install Dnsmasq: sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
  2. Since Ubuntu's NetworkManager uses dnsmasq, and since that messes things up a little for us, open up /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and comment out (#) the line that reads dns=dnsmasq. Restart NetworkManager afterwards: sudo restart network-manager.
  3. Make sure Dnsmasq listens to local DNS queries by editing /etc/dnsmasq.conf, and adding the line listen-address=127.0.0.1.
  4. Create a new file in /etc/dnsmasq.d (eg. /etc/dnsmasq.d/dev), and add the line address=/dev/127.0.0.1 to have dnsmasq resolve requests for *.dev domains. Restart Dnsmasq: sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart.
