No..what I am trying to write a "website preview" plugin attached to a control panel.. :) since I am a newbie, I don't know how to achieve this without modifying hosts file ( I am basically a linux sys admin ) :) @Martin - I will check it. Since I am a beginner ( of course, just started to learn PHP today ) I need to start from scratch. If yo could provide some sample code, it will be great :) thanks for your input guys..
