DNSMasq on Ubuntu 16.04

Since I am not a network admin guy who knows network admin stuff, I wanted a simple way to do DNS changes on TPDSandbox. I used DNS primarily for changing active write and read servers for the application during production issues, and setting up some HA solutions required it. Also, it’s important to have the identifying parameters for a mysql installation defined for the setup that I do (Hostname + IP). I did the install of DNSMasq on tpdAdmin.
