Resolve Landrush entries on a mobile device

Table of Contents

For your mobile phone to access VM-hosts two conditions need to be met:

  • Your VM needs to be accessible from the network your phone’s on (configure a public network).

  • The phone should query Landrush to resolve DNS entries.

Most smartphones allow you to configure a custom DNS server (instructions further below), but unfortunately some don’t allow you to configure a DNS server running on port 10053.

To work around that one can proxy queries to the default port 53 with a system-wide DNS server to Landrush.

Proxy bind to your Landrush server

The DNS-server bind can be installed with homebrew on OS X.

In its configuration file forward all queries to your local Landrush and disable caching:

options {
    directory "/usr/local/var/named";

    forwarders {
        127.0.0.1 port 10053;
    };

    max-cache-ttl 0;
    max-ncache-ttl 0;
};

After restarting bind you should be able to resolve your VM’s entries on your local default DNS server (port 53):

$ dig -p 53 @localhost myhost.vagrant.test

Configure DNS server on your mobile phone

Set your bind server’s IP address as the DNS server on your external device.
