Install a name server. Make sure it's listening on your LAN address,
not (just) on 127.0.0.1. Configure it to respond however you need.

The pacakge for ISC's BIND is called bind9.
This would certainly do the job, but it's massively overkill for a simple
home LAN DNS server. Nevertheless, if it's what you already know, there
is benefit in using the known but overengineered tool rather than learning
a new tool.
