I do internal testing of my PHP scripts before rolling them out publicly, so I needed to use local IPs for public domain names. The best way to do this is with Windows’s HOSTS file, and I wanted a good way to do this on Windows Vista. The answer is HostsMan, an excellent free program which you can grab here.

Note! In order to use this program, it required me to disable the DNS Client Service. Any idea what this really does? Any negative performance impact?
