User:HNowlan (WMF)/Internal DNS with dnsmasq

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

These instructions are only useful if you want to resolve internal DNS from your laptop or similar - the odds are high you don't need to do this.

These instructions apply to OS X but configuration of any off-the-shelf version of dnsmasq should be more or less identical.

OS X

Assuming homebrew is installed:

# brew install dnsmasq

Edit /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.d/wmf and add the following lines:

server=/.wmflabs/208.80.154.11
server=/.wmflabs/208.80.154.135

server=/.wmnet/208.80.154.238
server=/10.in-addr.arpa/208.80.154.238
server=/.wmnet/208.80.153.231
server=/10.in-addr.arpa/208.80.153.231
server=/.wmnet/91.198.174.239
server=/10.in-addr.arpa/91.198.174.239

Then do

$ sudo brew services start dnsmasq

Configure dnsmasq to be your local DNS server in the OS X Network control panel and resolution should just work.
