Resolve one hostname to another, using hosts file
dns, hosts
Solution
No.
You can add multiple hostnames to the hostfile, for example: 1.2.3.4 hostname1 hostname2
But every time you look up a name or address, youll just get the whole line back. Or was that what you wanted?
Problem
I know how to resolve a hostname to an IP address using my hosts file eg ``` 1.2.3.4 example.com ``` but is it possible to resolve a hostname to another ``` example.com example1.com ``` with a hosts file? Reason being, Im testing a new site, hosting uses Virtual hosts, so there are multiple domains on the IP address. ServerAlias in Apache is not an option either. Any help appreciated! Thanks Stephen
