If you've been exploring this, and a few of the external links, you will possibly find this answer:

It is about a light-weigh DNS server called dnsmasq. Super simple, very powerful, and can be used in conjunction with your internal or external DNS servers.

Much easier than installing squid, fiddling with Apache, and other techniques that would be time-consuming, and risk the "integrity" of configurations, develop environments, test environments, etc.

Well worth considering.

I adopted that as a regular tool for development and for normal networking.
