Are TLDs other than .dev possible?

Are TLDs other than .dev possible?

This is untested, but Prax should accept any TLD you feed it. So, all you need is have Prax running on the server and either:

• have a subdomain wildcard on your VPS DNS configuration for subdomains;
• have a local DNS resolver (eg: dnsmasq) configuration that would resolve .dev or any other special TLD to your server IPs, so you can use Prax with whatever domain under that TLD.

That being said:

• if all you need are subdomains, then a DNS wildcard + iptables port redirection shall be enough.
• Prax is a local development tool that is supposed to run within a secured local network, so it takes security very lightly. Please keep this in mind!

Thanks. I already use iptables to block port 80 to everywhere but my current ip. I just wanted to be able to browse to nice subdomains without setting it up in nginx and having to refresh every time I load. Glad the crystal rewrite is going nicely. I've been loving crystal for the last couple months.
