I currently use 192.168.1.10:85
to refer to my localhost ip address, and I setup port-based virtualhosts because this seems like the only feasible/practical way to view this from within Windows XP on my Debian's VirtualBox.
Is anyone else aware of some advanced techniques in which I could view it by the ServerName
instead? I would assume I have to hook it up to some sort of DNS server?
I know I can also edit the hosts
file in my Windows XP and point certain urls to my IP address, but it will always resolve to the primary default virtualhost.
