I've always done something like that by running my own DNS server. It works as a normal DNS server, directly answering queries it has in its database, and going out onto the internet for those it doesn't. Just the same as any ISP's DNS server (want a result for google.com, it asks .com what to do about it, and walks up the tree, and consults the record holder for google.com). I did that decades ago because I wanted to resolve internal names, without using hosts files, and my ISP's DNS servers were crap (it could completely fail to return results for common domain names, even for their own servers). -- NB: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
