    dnsmasq really is the way to go for this type of small configuration. Really. Go on. Try it. Commented May 14, 2015 at 15:58

    I use dnsmasq for almost exactly this situation. I found that dnsmasq configuration wasn't particularly easy, so maybe you should pick this as THE answer, then try to get dnsmasq to do what you want, asking questions about dnsmasq instead. Commented May 14, 2015 at 16:31
  • @roaima i tried and it works great, i didn't have to config re-solvers or create a zone like I used to do with bind9. dnsmasq is certainly recommended for simple networks where no special configurations is required. +1 Commented May 16, 2015 at 12:12
