unless you're using a server version of windows, IIS isn't going to serve more than 1 site at a time.
BTW, entries in the hosts file would take on this form: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 redhotkitties.com Then, in IIS you'd set up multiple sites and have them use the host header to determine which site was being visited.
