Figured out how to get anything.lan (including foo.bar.lan etc) to resolve to 127.0.0.1 on my Mac laptop, using dnsmasq installed from Homebrew https://til.simonwillison.net/macos/wildcard-dns-dnsmasq

@markwalker it's the opposite of a mainstream quiche!

@markwalker @simon if you need it to work from docker containers, create a network alias on 10.254.254.254 to lo0 and use that IP instead in dnsmasq

... and it turns out that's not necessary at all, because `foo.bar.localhost` resolves to `127.0.0.1` on macOS out of the box!

@simon can't you just add 127.0.0.1 foo.bar.lanto /etc/hosts? Usually works for me.

@pdcawley yeah but I'm building stuff that uses wildcard DNS in production and I want to test it locally

@simon pro tip: don't use `.lan`, use `.lan.<your-domain>` so you can provision HTTPS certificates for it.

@glyph whoa... so I could buy myself a wildcard certificate for a domain, and then use subdomains of that on my own local machine!?

@simon @glyph you can get a free wildcard cert from let's encrypt! Where you point your domain is up to you.

@simon I used to maintain a tool for this, but I archived it because with the DNS challenge you can just do it with certbot out of the box
