Currently, I run a small DNS server on my development machine to resolve development domains on my devices.

It would be super awesome, if DevKinsta included such a DNS server! 🙂 It could be either a separate Docker container that we can manually start/enable in the settings, or added to the existing devkinsta\_fpm container.

The DNS server should resolve all websites currently created in DevKinsta.

There are many details on how to set up a DNS server using the [Bind9](https://wiki.debian.org/Bind9) server (which is the only one I’ve used so far).

Note: For mobile testing on iOS devices, we first need an option to [choose a TLD that’s different from `.local`](https://community.kinsta.com/t/choose-different-tld-for-dev-sites-not-local/924)

Note: If there’s a way for me to contribute a plugin/add-on/etc for DevKisnta, I’d be happy to integrate such a DNS server. Just point me to relevant documentation on how to submit that module
