Terry, you edit the hosts file exactly as you do now, it makes no difference that you are using Apache. The hosts file is simply telling your machine to resolve a domain to a specific IP address, e.g. your local machine. IIS6 only allows 1 site to be active at a time, but you can have multiple sites and switch between them, here is a free tool to make that easier. http://www.jetstat.com/iisadmin/ IIS7 does not have this restriction, neither does Apache.
