Landrush: DNS for Vagrant

Landrush is a simple cross-platform DNS for Vagrant VMs that is visible on both, the guest and the host.

It spins up a small DNS server and redirects DNS traffic from your VMs to use it, automatically registering/unregistering IP addresses of guests as they come up and go down.

Installation

Install under Vagrant (1.1 or later):

$ vagrant plugin install landrush

Getting started

Enable the plugin in your Vagrantfile:
```
config.landrush.enabled = true
```
Bring up a machine.
```
$ vagrant up
```
You are able to get your VM’s hostname resolved on your host:
```
$ dig -p 10053 @localhost myhost.vagrant.test
```
If you shut down your guest, the entries associated with it will be removed.

Landrush retrieves your VM’s hostname from either the vagrant config or it uses the system’s actual hostname by running the hostname command. A default hostname of "guest-vm" is assumed if the hostname is otherwise not available.

A Landrush example configuration could look like this:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"

  config.landrush.enabled = true

  config.vm.hostname = "myhost.vagrant.test"

  config.landrush.host 'static1.example.com', '1.2.3.4'
  config.landrush.host 'static2.example.com', '2.3.4.5'
end

See the Usage guide for further information.
