NGINX Redirect to Domain Name spoofed locally with DNSMasq

I have a Linux VPS serving data on the internet that has a legitimate Domain name and SSL Certificate ( from GoDaddy.com ). I will refere to this server as "**www.myserver.com**". I also have a local Linux machine ( on my own LAN ) that I want to use to DNS spoof my internet facing Domain name ( www.myserver.com ) to it's own NGINX webserver running on that local machine. I setup DNSMasq on the local machine to spoof that domain to it's local 192.x address and I verified from another machine on the LAN that dig reports the local address. Local server dnsmaq spoof mapping: cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/spoof.hosts 192.168.1.142 www.myserver.com myserver.com Separate machine on LAN shows that spoofed mapping should work: dig +short @192.168.1.142 myserver.com >> 192.168.1.142 My dnsmasq.conf: server=127.0.0.1 listen-address=127.0.0.1 listen-address=192.168.1.142 no-dhcp-interface= no-hosts addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq.d/spoof.hosts My spoof.hosts: 192.168.1.142 www.myserver.com myserver.com On the local server, I configured NGINX with resolver to look to localhost for DNS as shown here: http { access_log off; include mime.types; default_type html; sendfile on; keepalive_requests 50; keepalive_timeout 75s; reset_timedout_connection on; server_tokens off; server { listen 8080 default_server; resolver 127.0.0.1 valid=10s; location / { return 302 http://myserver.com/ ; } } server { listen 80; server_name *.myserver.com; // Various Endpoints } } The problem is that when I visit my local machine 192.168.1.131:8080, it redirects to my **actual** internet facing machine - the **real** domain name on the internet. I want it to redirect to the local spoofed DNS. What am I doing wrong? How can I accomplish this? Thank you. UPDATE: I've tried this as well but no luck: http { access_log off; include mime.types; default_type html; sendfile on; keepalive_requests 50; keepalive_timeout 75s; reset_timedout_connection on; server_tokens off; server { listen 80 default_server; server_name _; resolver 127.0.0.1; return 301 https://myserver.com/$request_uri ; } server { listen 443; server_name *.myserver.com; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/1e17e6d8f94cc4ee.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/example.com.key; ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH'; ... } }
