OS X Dnsmasq setup for .dev domains
Raw
setup.md

Install dnsmasq using Homebrew. Edit the dnsmasq.conf file (Homebrew will tell you where to put it) to contain:

address=/.dev/127.0.0.1
listen-address=127.0.0.1

Then make sure Dnsmasq is running (again follow Homebrew instructions).

Create the /etc/resolver/dev directory (using root) if it doesn't exist yet and create a resolver for .dev:

sudo bash -c 'echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolver/dev'

Then ping foo.dev and it should be pinging 127.0.0.1.

Note that dig foo.dev does not consult Dnsmasq, so test with ping instead.
