How do you do that .vm thing?

• drivingmenuts 12y ago
  In my hosts file, sites that are on my local vm are referred to as project1.vm, project2.vm and so on. Each virtual host is configured with the name project1.vm and so on and so forth. If I really felt like it, I could put a site on my called yahoo.com and change my hosts file to point that instead. I don't use yahoo for anything (nothing against them, I just don't) so it wouldn't hurt anything. Additionally, my vms all have two network addresses - one is dynamic from my router (for updates, etc.) and one is a host-only connector with a fixed IP. That's the address I use to connect to the sites. I don't bother with running a private DNS or anything - I'm more concerned with site development, not routing issues. The VM is an ends to a means and all that other stuff, while useful to know, takes up time I don't really feel like spending.
