Vagrant::Autodns

Vagrant plugin for automagically managing guest DNS. It uses a local DNS daemon (RubyDNS) that stores DNS entries in a SQLite database.

It has been designed not to run as root. To be able to do that, Vagrant::AutoDNS creates an iptable rule on your guest machine to do DNS request forwardng between the 53 privileged port to the hosts 15353 unprivileged port.

    Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
      # Enable the plugin for this config
      # Internal DNS
      config.autodns.enable
      config.vm.network 'private_network', :type => :dhcp
    end
