I have a method I am more than willing to share but it does involve a bit of an odd mechanism and some other software, which I use in site debugging anyway but requires me basically set up a proxy and make that redirect access's on odd port numbers to the actual site on port 80.
Yes, please do! SO happy to learn about this. Thank you for sharing your way.
While you share I am gearing up on the DNS server topic. Though very early stage still.
Been reading about it the past days.
To be able to limit my intake on this subject, or at least narrow down a bit, I am looking to set up what type of dns server? If you look at this document [
www.zytrax.com] what type would that be?
I am trying to get there to ideally be able to feed the VHosts file with server names, allow local, and then add those to the HOST file on the machine with WAMP. Now simply by giving the domain.dev in any browser on the local network that requests gets forwarded to the machine running WAMP, resolving the request and serving the directory that is given in the VHosts file. Would that work?
For this kind of thing to work the DNS server needs to be what type?
If normal DNS requests from all clients get routed to the normal outside DNS servers I use and only the specific domains, domain.dev for example, gets looked up locally and served locally.
What type of DNS server would I need to set up for this to work?
Even happy with forwarding DNS requests through the machine running WAMP since that is on 24/7. So have one deskop, serve local *.dev domains locally and let in out all other dns traffic, if must be through the desktop.
And again, is this at all possible with a DNS server or is this something I cannot expect from a local DNS server?
If you find time, let me know what you think, happy to chat if you have a moment, for now, it would be great to hear about your method with the Proxy, so yes, please share it.
