title: How to setup/mock CNAME record locally for a dev environment
body: <p>I need to setup a CNAME record locally. The use case is that I have a domain which is being hit in production and I want to change the production DNS settings but I want to verify my setup works by testing the setting locally before I change it in production.</p>
  
  <p>Currently my domain is setup like this:
  <code>A mydomain.com some.ip.addre.ss</code></p>
  
  <p>I want to change it to
  <code>CNAME mydomain.com somecnameaddress.com</code></p>
  
  <p>I am able to test A record changes by modifying my hosts file but I cannot do this to test CNAME records. How would I go about doing this?</p>
