How to add TXT record in Host File
Is is possible to add TXT record in local hostfile for local verification ?
I was looking for this for demo purpose on a Linux server.
The Linux hosts file is merely an IP -> hostname mapping. The operating systems is not querying itself for a DNS record, nor is it responding to its own query with a DNS record. It's responding with an IP address.
If you need a local host to respond with a specific DNS record type you'll need to install and configure DNS server software.
