How do I create my own local DNS server?
by thomasjohn on April 13, 2011Q: hello
my name is thomas and i would like to create a DNS server for my web server on my local network.
So instead of typing my local web server IP address i would only need to type something like example.com

The easiest thing to do would be to edit your HOSTS file. This page on wikipedia will tell you how that works:

Also, for your fake domain names I suggest just using one word and drop the dot com.
