Thank You Frank, Eric, Afsar, & Joost. I"m beginning to understand why
and how this is happening.

I can't reasonably create a lie on my development box (i.e. hosts fix)
because I need to hit my real domain server in Texas for my email, and I
also ssh into it to maintain it. I can't fudge the DNS.

I see now that the problem on my dev box is that I'm trying to get the
web site to function from a directory/file perspective, and my real box
is functioning from a DNS hostname perspective, so to speak.

I've had this problem for quite some time causing me to "fix" the html
when I move it to the real box, and it finally bothered me enough to try
to figure out what's going on.

So - How do I set up the dev box to 100% mimic the real box while I'm
testing so I don't have to hand massage the code when I move it? I can't
be the first guy to run into this, so is there a consensus on how to
approach the problem?

Having different httpd.conf files (real vs dev) is fine and expected.
