OS X service to add folder name to localhost DNS
Raw
Readme.txt
This is my workaround to an otherwise automated Apache/vhost + dnsmasq +/etc/resolver/dev setup that fails when I'm offline and my local sites are unreachable. After I create a folder under ~/Sites, I now right-click > Services > Add Site to DNS and my sites are available offline. It's sudo vi /etc/hosts workaround.
To cleanup/maintain, use the dscl commands from here:
