I have done that as well. You can do a local dns server but it is a lot easier to just mod the hosts file than to mod a local dns server.

Ok... thanks Mark and Eric We need a better solution available to developers to be able to switch between local and server DNS. Perhaps, a switch of some kind that could be inserted into a URL to tell a browser to use a local hosts file if that switch is present. http://local/www.xyz.com or http://l:www.xyz.com That would certainly be a *lot* easier than constantly editing that hosts file. But it's good to know that I can use a local DNS file that way! -----Original Message----- From: Mark A.

Rick, Put a pound sign in front of the entry #127.0.0.1 xxxxx Close your browsers.... The open a command prompt and flush your local DNS cahce .. C:\>ipconfig /flushdns Then ping the domain... should see a live address returned from your DNS server. -mark Mark A.
