1.) Disable systemd-resolved.service
	sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved


2.) Stop systemd-resolved.service
	sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved


3.) Also, remove the symlinked resolv.conf file
	ls -lh /etc/resolv.conf


4.) Unlink it
	sudo unlink /etc/resolv.conf


5.) Then create new resolv.conf file. 
	echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf

Dnsmasq is available on the apt repository, Info 
easy installation can be done by running


6.) Install dnsmasq


sudo apt install dnsmasq


7.) Edit dnsmasq.conf


sudo vim /etc/dnsmasq.conf


Here is minimal configuration

# Listen on this specific port instead of the standard DNS port
# (53). Setting this to zero completely disables DNS function,
# leaving only DHCP and/or TFTP.
port=53
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
bogus-priv
# By  default,  dnsmasq  will  send queries to any of the upstream
# servers it knows about and tries to favour servers to are  known
# to  be  up.  Uncommenting this forces dnsmasq to try each query
# with  each  server  strictly  in  the  order  they   appear   in
# /etc/resolv.conf
strict-order
# Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain
# automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file.
expand-hosts
# Set the domain for dnsmasq. this is optional, but if it is set, it
# does the following things.
# 1) Allows DHCP hosts to have fully qualified domain names, as long
#     as the domain part matches this setting.
# 2) Sets the "domain" DHCP option thereby potentially setting the
#    domain of all systems configured by DHCP
# 3) Provides the domain part for "expand-hosts"
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk
domain=example.com

# Set Listen address
listen-address=127.0.0.1 # Set to Server IP for network responses


8.) Restart dnsmasq


sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq


9.) Edit the hosts file. Add your own entries. 


sudo vim /etc/hosts
10.1.3.4 server1.mypridomain.com
10.1.4.4 erp.mypridomain.com 
192.168.10.2 checkout.mypridomain.com 
192.168.4.3 hello.world


10.) Restart dnsmasq


sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq


11.) Add the locahost to the resolv.conf at the first place


sudo vim /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
