<p>I have a CoreFile configutation like this</p>
<pre><code>.:53 {
    errors
    health {
       lameduck 5s
    }
    ready
    kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa {
       pods insecure
       fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa
       ttl 30
    }
    prometheus :9153
    forward . /etc/resolv.conf {
       max_concurrent 1000
    }
    cache 30
    loop
    reload
    loadbalance
}
</code></pre>
<p>I would like all my pods to be able to resolve myapi.local to a specific IP ( 192.168.49.2 )
Is there any easy way to achieve this like the what I can do with OS's host file</p>

<p>Below configuration should do the trick</p>
<pre><code>.:53 {
    errors
    health
    ready
    kubernetes cluster.local in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa {
        pods insecure
        fallthrough in-addr.arpa ip6.arpa
    }
    prometheus :9153
    hosts custom.hosts myapi.local {
        192.168.49.2 myapi.local
        fallthrough
    }
    forward . 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
    cache 30
    loop
    reload
    loadbalance
}
</code></pre>
