> think /etc/hosts, but without the requirement of superuser privileges. It would help if you could expand on this. Is this a "don't want devs to need to mess with their boxes" thing, or a "we're doing shadow IT and can't run things the normal way" thing, or something else? > Running a resolver locally, or within the LAN, falls outside the realm of "simple". No, it really doesn't. A DNS server can be a single file binary pointed at a simple text file, optionally pointed directly at a hosts-format file. I suggest coredns personally but there are other options.
