[Dnsmasq-discuss] Wildcard DNS on amazon EC2 instance

[Lorenz Vanthillo]

I have OpenShift v3 installed on an Amazon EC2 instance. It's not a 
problem when you don't know OpenShift to answer this question. OpenShift
 contains a router and routes which makes it possible to access services
 by their hostname (for example www.example.com).


In my initial configuration I was working like this:


I linked a service and a hostname.On my own PC (not the server), I edited /etc/hosts and added the following:


52.18.247.x myapp.apps.example.com


52.18.247.x is my public IP of the amazon instance. This was working.
 So I could acces myapp.apps.example in my browser. But I knew this was 
not the best way to do it. So I wanted to set up a Wildcard for 
resolving this issue. I cleared my /etc/hosts on my real pc and went into my amazon instance:


yum install dnsmasq


dnsmasq is running on port 53.


vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf


add:


address=/apps.example.com/52.18.247.x


Than I did a restart:


sudo service dnsmasq restart


But it is not working and I cannot visit my services (apps) in my browser. What am I doing wrong?
