Re: Suppressing DNS lookups when using wget, forcing specific IP address
This looked promising, but I couldn't quite get it to work even w/o --mirror: wget --header="Host: www.yahoo.com" http://216.109.112.135/ (yes, 216.109.112.135 is one of Yahoo's IP addresses). The result is a "sorry, page could not be found" error. A network sniffer shows I sent this: GET / HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Wget/1.8.2 Host: 216.109.112.135 Accept: */* Connection: Keep-Alive Host: www.yahoo.com In other words, I sent 2 "Host:" headers, and yahoo.com used the first one (the server I'm actually interested in does the same thing). But this seems really close to what I want. Any suggestions/thoughts anyone?

Re: Suppressing DNS lookups when using wget, forcing specific IP address
modify /etc/hosts temporarily on the computer you are running wget to add a line similar to 1.2.3.4 sitename.com # temporary hack to get new web site pull the files then remove that line from /etc/hosts. this assumes that /etc/hosts has precedence over dns (and yp or whatever) on your machine; most do.
