Ever since I’am using my macbook pro with XAMPP as my primary development workhorse, i’ve been playing around with the hosts file every single time I started a new project. Until last week, where i suddenly realized that it was a rather stupid practice. After all i’am running a system that comes preinstalled with named. Yeah i know, a bit late… But still, sat down for a few minutes to (re-)read about zone files and how to get an wildcard DNS server up and running.
The goal was to have *.dev.local pointing to 127.0.0.1 so i only needed to add/alter my apache vhosts.conf to fit my project needs.
