internal webserver
 

is there anyway to have 2 clients on a LAN see a certain website if the queried say like if i had 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 and i wanted querys for test.com to only resovle to the apache server for those ips only and the rest to resolve to the real test.com ho could i do that?

ok, little confusing there, but i *think* you mean you just want two individual LAN machines to resolve a domain to one local IP, instead of the real address? easy, just add the fake details to /etc/hosts. note that this is totally seperate to any actual webserving going on.

add fake hosts? explain please , i am sort of new

but yes your right about what i am tring to do

you simply lie to each machine about what the IP is. open up /etc/hosts and add a line at the bottom, for example "192.168.0.1 microsoft.com". the hosts file is the very first port of call when resolving a host, so anythign in there will be used by the machine first off.

thank you very much
