WOW.... Ok I discovered something or several things I did not know.
Win 10 pro WSL / Ubuntu 16.04LTS LAMP configuration.
Had created several vhosts using the format site.dev.
Local host would work but not site.dev. Drove me crazy... spent a lot
of time trying to figure it out. Scoured the internet looking for what
was wrong. Nothing worked until I happened upon an article that said
.dev is a legitimate TLD owned my Microsoft.
The article suggested using site.localhost and by doing so the Windows
host file does not need to be updated. It worked. I assume this naming
convention will only work on the local machine.
I assume if one wants to reach sites on your local network, one might
use the naming convention site.local - I assume....
I am going to do more testing....
