*.test Host Resolution

When using Debian, foo.localhost resolves to localhost. There are several options for adding other hosts to do the same, and one is using NetworkManager.

First, add a /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/00-test.conf file with the following content:

address=/test/127.0.0.1

Then, add a dns=dnsmasq line to the [main] block in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:

# Before
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

# After
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
dns=dnsmasq

After that, reload the NetworkManager using sudo systemctl reload NetworkManager and foo.test will resolve to localhost.
