Hi, the problem is that I want my application to run on clients computers and I can not want them to configure something.

Hi All,
  I need to dynamically define a dns records, which will be valid for
my application only.
Writing into /etc/hosts solves this problem only partially. It is
valid for all applications and it requires root permissions to write
something into /etc/hosts.

Is there please any possible solution?  My application uses some
third-party libraries, so I can not simply change the code
responsible for domains resolving.

Thanks

Josef

You can easily configure BIND to allow dynamic updates, but I'm not sure how you would go about limiting the records' resolvability to one specific application.
