I’ve got a LAMP dev server at something like dev.example.com. Eventually this will be replicated to something like http://www.example.com where we will have root access.

I’d like to have the sys admin set up a few subdomains (e.g., subdomain1.example.com) such that they will work on both the dev server and the production server without the references to those subdomains having to be rewritten.

Can Apache be configured on the dev and production servers such that my code can reference something like subdomain1.localhost? Is there some other way of doing this?

(The servers will run recent versions of CentOS and the AMP stack.)

    I finally found the answer in the CDN module. As the name implies, this is intended to be used with content delivery networks but essentially all it does is a rule-based re-writing of the URLs that Drupal outputs. I’ve used it to re-write URLs so that different file types can be served from unique hostnames (again, to maximize parallel downloads).
