Standardize and fix (Auto-)DNS for Linux, Windows 7/8/10 and MacOS (Native and Docker Toolbox)

Auto-DNS standardization and fixes

This ticket will address various Auto-DNS related issues for all operating systems and all Docker versions.

---

Idea

I will introduce a second DNS container which will always be able to point to whatever IP the Devilbox is running. A second container is necessary to be independent of the internal DNS name resolution. This one can then also be bound to a computers external interface to be shared within the corporate LAN.

Goal

• Automatically have access to all projects (via Auto-DNS) from
  • your local computer (native or Docker Toolbox)
  • your local LAN
    • other computers on the LAN
    • Android mobiles on the LAN
    • iPhones on the LAN
