Set up other names for the vhost under your domain in apache. Also don't use absolute url's so tricks like this keep working. <br><br></font></div>

Hi, if you need simple testing you can use telnet.<br><br>$ telnet 11.22.33.44 80<br>GET / HTTP/1.1<br>Host: <a href="http://www.my-fake-site.com">www.my-fake-site.com</a><br><br>(press enter twice)<br><br>You can also test SSL from the command line the same way with a little help:<br>

a site is to fake your local DNS in order to pass the correct URL in the<br>
link to the IP of your test server.<br>
<br>
That works fine if you are controlling the machine [i.e. edit the hosts<br>
file and substitute the test IP for that domain name], .. but how do you<br>
'give' a URL to the client to view?<br>
<br>
Any redirection would break the test as the first time you click a link on<br>
the test site it would direct to the 'real' site.<br>
