Bummer... I'm not sure I can get a static IP address. I've currently got a business-class DSL line running for which I could probably get a static IP for additional cost.
However, I just responded to a proposal from Comcast to user cable broadband at higher rates at half the price of the DSL. But I don't believe I can get a static IP from Comcast. And I hate complicating things the DynDns.com or something similar. Maybe in the end that would be preferable. Now, how would this work in the local hosts file setup that is really different from using 127.0.0.1? Wouldn't the second IP still be referenced only locally? Or are you talking about using the second IP externally with the development domains setup with external DNS and pointing to the second IP on my dev machine, which would be acting as an externally accessible dev server? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:46 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Re: RE: I think I'm confused... I just confirmed that this idea works. The only downside is your NIC will require static IP addresses. On Feb 24, 2011 8:38am, [email protected] wrote: > Jason Fisher's answer is exactly what I'd do.
