Show HN: Backname.io – every IP address gets its own domain

The problem is someone ends up using one of these in production. Then backname.io becomes an attractive target.

It would be cool to have it as a locally installed custom DNS resolver on the developers computer though.

I've been patiently watching for a nice way to plug in a local development DNS resolver (patiently waiting for someone to document and script the a few tiny patterns).

dnsmasq is a good option for that

Well, there's no reason they can't run it locally: https://github.com/Twixes/backname
