Support for OS X

[prologic]

I know you probably didn't write this for OS X in mind but it would be nice :)

$ minidns -c etc/minidns.conf start
Password:
sudo: iptables: command not found

The plan for OSX support is to use /etc/resolver to declare a local TLD (such as .dev):

http://blog.scottlowe.org/2006/01/04/mac-os-x-and-local-domains/

You would put something like this in /etc/resolver/dev:

nameserver 127.0.0.1
port 8053

And have a launchd config to run it as a non-root user on that port.

It would then allow you to have any zone you wanted under .dev.

That neatly avoids any use of iptables, too.

The way I have my iMac setup at work
this would work perfectly along with
supervisor which I use to run up things
(because I can't stand launchd!)

Nice work! :)

cheers
