Does Litespeed have a "domain preview" feature (browsing virtual host before DNS has propagated)?

Don't know exactly what does "domain preview" mean, I think you can just fake the DNS by adding the doamin and IP to the "hosts.conf" file in a linux box, or something like "lmhosts" on windows.

Domain preview means that you can browse to unresolved domain www with e.g. http://123.123.123.123/~domainname

That's apache's mod_userdir feature. yes, it work when LiteSpeed is using Apache httpd.conf directly.

I found a simple way to do it, set port 80 listener's virtual host mapping to

virtual host: newdomain.com
domains: 123.123.123.123,newdomain.com

Now I can check the site out with IP. This is good enough for my purposes.

Yes, it is a better way to me.
