I have added two domain names to the hosts file (in Windows XP SP2) and mapped both of them to 127.0.0.1 (for the sake of developing the sites on the local machine), one of them correctly returns 127.0.0.1 when using the ping command, the other one insists on returning its IP on the internet! (the ISP parking server), I used ipconfig /flushdns multiple times and checked the hosts file a zillion times but still no use! the problem has been present for several days now so I don't think it's a caching problem .. what's really weird is that only one of them is working, if both were not working it would have been ok but why only one?!!
