[Cialug] Faking DNS

[Barry Von Ahsen]

do you have access to their dns, or your own?

we normally have client.ourdomain.com set up for review until the site 
goes live or until they transfer client.com or update their dns to point 
to our server.  both are set up in the same vhost as sen~or weis suggested
