[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS pattern response

I think you're going about this the wrong way.  Use the DHCP option
"auto-proxy-config" to control the URL browsers use for auto-proxy.
Spoofing addresses in other domains doesn't solve any problems, it
only creates more (and is borderline illegal in many areas).
