How to create more than one .local address pointing to my mac
I currently have one .local address (Bonjour) pointing to my mac in my intranet, mbp.local, configured in system preferences with the computer name. I use this to send my boss links to demos on my local server (he sits in a chair behind me : >).
I'd like to be able to create new .local addresses to send different demos to my boss (demo1.local, demo2.local, etc) so that I can switch to different working copies to do other work while the demos are still live.
I'd know how to setup Apache to route these requests开发者_如何学运维 to the right places, but am unsure if it's possible to make new addresses that point to my mac (I think this has to do with multicasting?).
I have a dynamic IP in my intranet but would be able to setup a static IP if required.
Are you talking about web site demos? I'm not sure I understand the problem. If they're web sites, I'm sure you already know you can simply use a single address with different urls, eg, http://mbp.local/demo1, http://mbp.local/demo2, etc. If it is something else entirely, you can use the Mac's local host file to point multiple fqdns to a single IP address on your local network, but it would be best to have a static IP. Alternatively, you could edit your DNS or WINS server to do the address translation.
I haven't done this myself, but I wonder if you could use what's documented here to start. The difference would be that you'll send your boss links to http://demo1.mbp.local and so on.
I found more about this on this thread on SuperUser.
