Hi Mark,

I usually use dnsmasq. It's easy to setup and serves the names from /etc/hosts

    [mgogala_at_umajor ~]$ systemctl status dnsmasq     ● dnsmasq.service - DNS caching server.           Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service;     enabled; preset: disabled)

I hate systemd with passion. Their "named" service is cumbersome and clunky. On the other hand, dnsmasq is reliable, simple and it works:

    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.2215]     (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    C:\Users\mgogala>nslookup umajor.home.com     Server:  umajor.home.com
    Address:  192.168.2.100

    Name:    umajor.home.com
    Address:  192.168.2.100

    C:\Users\mgogala>

BTW, "umajor" is my desktop. My laptop is called "uminor".  I live on the norther hemisphere where Southern Cross is not visible. We Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and the Northern Star.

Regards
