Wildcard Virtual Hosts Ubuntu

Question

I'm looking to setup wildcard virtual hosts in Ubuntu. I've set it up on a WAMP setup pretty easily, but I don't know enough about Linux to know how the setup differs.

The goal is to be able to create folders like:

site.weblocal
site2.weblocal
site3.weblocal
etc.....

without having to add individual vhosts each time. Someone has recommended dnsmasq?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

"Someone has recommended dnsmasq" And have you looked into dnsmasq? Is there a reason it's not sufficient? — Kevin, Jun 03 '12 at 20:25

for Ubuntu it goes as simple as

sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
sudo echo "address=/weblocal/127.0.0.1" >> /etc/dnsmasq.d/weblocal
sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
