Enable wildcard subdomain for localhost on Ubuntu 12.04

I am trying to enable wildcard subdomain using dnsmasq. I followed the following link for that.

https://coderwall.com/p/6dgpsw

I am adding dns nameserver by editing /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf with the line prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;

I am using ubuntu 12.04 with wifi connection.

But this is not working for me. can anyone please help me out.

Thanks in advance.

This can be done without installing the full dnsmasq package.

Create/modify the file

/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf

with the line:

address=/mydomain.dev/127.0.0.1 (replace mydomain.dev with whatever you need)

and then restart network manager.

This may or may not work on versions other than 12.04
