I know of no simpler way. And installing and configuring dnsmasq is very 
simple.

dmsmasq is a DHCP server AND/OR a *Name Server*. You want it to be the 
latter. It uses the gateway's /etc/hosts file and acts as a DNS server 
for your local machines. Simply configure your local machines to use the 
gateway as their DNS server or use DNS(REDIRECT) in your rules file to 
redirect their DNS queries to the gateway machine.
