wildcard DNS for Othernet Development

• install dnsmasq $ brew install dnsmasq ... $ cp /usr/local/opt/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.conf.example /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
• edit /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf address=/othernet/127.0.0.1
• start dnsmasq $ sudo brew services start dnsmasq
• any time we change dnsmasq.conf we have to re-start dnsmasq: $ sudo brew services restart dnsmasq
• For OS X to resolve requests from *.othernet to localhost we need to add a resolver:
  $ sudo mkdir /etc/resolver $ sudo touch /etc/resolver/othernet
• edit /etc/resolver/othernet nameserver 127.0.0.1
• re-start the computer to enable the resolver
