[support] Weird Browser Problem

[Jamie Holly]

I highly recommend:

http://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=AcrylicHome

It's a DNS proxy for Windows (open source) that lets you create wildcard 
host entries as well as your own tlds. You can simply define:

127.0.0.1 *.local

And you're all set. Create any .local VirtualHost and it connects. Easy 
to install and saves countless headaches.
