Hi all,
Is there a way to make an IP address outside the 127.x.x.x range (say, 192.168.56.101) map back to your own machine when accessed from your own machine, as if it were another alias for localhost? I'd like this to happen only on my own machine, and not interfere with anyone else's use of said IP address on the local network. This is for testing purposes only.
I've been poring over the documentation for route, arp, tun/tap, etc., but don't have a deep enough understanding of Linux networking to know where to begin.
Thanks,
Amanda
