Sounds like a really good approach for those "non-special-needs" sites.

Slight side track: We have about 100+ staging sites here at CFWT for various clients. I got tired of adding "client1.cfwebtools.com" and "client2.cfwebtools.com" to the DNS server evertime I had a new site. About 65% of ours sites on non special needs sites and are all on a single CF8 server. So at some point I simply added a wildcard entry for my domain.... that way *anything*.cfwebtools.com (meaning anything that is not otherwise specified in DNS) hits the same IP address. To set up a new site all I have to worry about is server stuff... no DNS. -Mark Mark A.

I was under the impression you were wanting to test different domain settings, locally, and the method I mentioned allows you to quickly switch between one domain to the next by just changing the aliased CGI variable. This approach has nothing to do with your hosts file though, so I'm not sure if we're on two different paths here. -Dain On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 9:59 AM, Rick Faircloth <r...@whitestonemedia.com>wrote: > > > However, it doesn't avoid the manual entry of the above code for > every local domain name, does it?
