For Windows machines, I suggest using Acrylic DNS proxy to handle
the DNS for multiple sites. I've got info on it here:<br>

Basically all my client sites on the devel machine get the TLD .dev
(ie: mysite.dev) . I've been doing this for a few years now and love
it.<br>

Centos 6.2 (RHEL 6) webserver and migrating 5 low-traffic
Drupal virtual sites to it - successfully, now looking to
use the old server as a development machine. Brain is a
bit worn out so this may seem a silly question, but how
can I access the development machine sites? Localhost just
gives me the first Apache default listed site, and using
the domain names takes me to the new server. Tried
listening on a different port, didn't help, nor did using
127.0.0.1 - loopback. Must be an easier way than setting
up a local DNS server and changing development machine
domain names.<br>

Add your dev sites to the /etc/hosts file.<br>
<br>
127.0.0.1 <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://dev.site1.com" target="_blank">dev.site1.com</a><br>
127.0.0.1 <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://dev.site2.com" target="_blank">dev.site2.com</a><br>
etc.<br>
<br>
How are you accessing the dev sites? I mean are you using a
browser<br>
housed on the same host as the server or are you accessing
from a<br>
different client? You'll need to add the same entries in
the client<br>
hosts file, if that is a windows PC it will be something
like<br>
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.<br>
