Obstinate DNS

Description

-----------

Terco is a DNS server that always resolves to 127.0.0.1.

It binds to port 53 by default, so probably you will have to sudo

it. If you want to run it in a different port, pass the port number

as the first argument.

One possible use is to configure your computer to resolve all requests

for a given TLD to your own computer.

Usage

-----

``` console

$ terco

Listening on port 53

```

Or, if you want to run it in the background:

```console

$ terco &

```

Now you can tell your OS to use `127.0.0.1:53` as your DNS for a

given TLD. Here's how to do it in OS X:

```console

$ sudo mkdir /etc/resolver

$ sudo sh -c 'echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolver/dev'

```

Now all domains that use the `.dev` TLD will point to `127.0.0.1`.

## Installation

You can install it using rubygems.

```

$ gem install terco

```
