I am using Raspbian (like Debian) and I used this tutorial https://frillip.com/using-your-raspberry-pi-3-as-a-wifi-access-point-with-hostapd/ to setup my Raspbian as a wifi access point. Clients can connect to AP successfuly. But how can I do this - client should be able to open page http://local and it should point to my apache on AP. I don't want to set /etc/hosts on clients (they can vary) so I need to set it on AP directly and it should serve the right IP to clients when they open http://local. I followed dnsmasq this How to make a machine accessible from the LAN using its hostname but it is not working (it worked for a while but then it stopped working)How should I set my AP to serve the right name IP translation?
