History for Lookupd and Netinfo OS X

Ugh. Wiki links break this.
changed:
-
Set up for localhost virtual domains on Mac OS X, this doesn't cover the apache vhost setup, only the name lookup.

Ok, figured it out...Here's how to reorder name lookups in lookupd:

*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: READ 'man lookupd' FIRST!*

Summary: As root, I created the directory /etc/lookupd, and created two files within that directory named 'global' and 'host' with the new lookup orders, and then restarted lookupd...

% su -

# mkdir /etc/lookupd

# cd /etc/lookupd

# echo "LookupOrder CacheAgent NIAgent NILAgent" > global

# echo "LookupOrder CacheAgent NIAgent DNSAgent NILAgent" > hosts

# /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Kicker.bundle/Resources/restart-lookupd

That did it for me...now whatever network I connect to, my virtual hosts will resolve correctly.

Cheers!

Ignore the ? marks in the "echo" lines!!
See the evolt.org link... Also 'restart-lookupd' doesn't exist in OS X 10.4. I'm using 

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/lookupd.pid`

and then

lookupd -flushcache
