Test a site with a static subdomain locally

Question

How can I test a site that uses one or more static domains for serving images locally?

e.g.

• domain.tld with images servered from static.domain.tld
• Local working copy of the site on WAMP checked out from SVN: URLs will be pointing at static.domain.tld rather than static.domain.local

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but you could always put entries in your hosts file if it's a question of resolving static.domain.tld, domain.tld, etc.

%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts:

static.domain.tld   127.0.0.1
someotherstatic.domain.tld   127.0.0.1
