[root@dlp ~]#

vi /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
# add records
10.0.0.30   dlp.srv.world dlp
10.0.0.31   www.srv.world www

[root@dlp ~]#

systemctl restart dnsmasq

success
[root@dlp ~]#

firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent
