I'd like to be able to set up a host, say "eg", to be an alias to some server on the internet, say "example.example.com".
I just need this functionality to be available from my local machine. I'm running dnsmasq on that machine, which is running ubuntu 9.10.
Is there a way to configure dnsmasq or the resolver subsystem (including avahi) to resolve that alias hostname via the actual hostname, so that eg will resolve to the ip address of example.example.com?
