Hosts file question

[copeland3300]

Hey all. I'm trying to configure my hosts file so that when i put in a specific website, it'll go to a different one. The website i'm trying to go to it located on a server with multiple websites on it. I was hoping someone could tell me how to specify that website in the hosts file.

The only thing the hosts file will let you change is the IP that a name resolves to. If this involves a webserver with vhosts, things probably won't go so well. You might want to look into setting a proxy if you want this sort of redirection.
