Actually, I bet you can do it if you modify your hosts file.  Yeah, I just
tried it locally (W2K Pro, IIS 5) and it seems to work fine.

Modify this file:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\etc

and add:
127.0.0.1      this.localhost
(or some IP address, doesn't necessarily have to be 127.0.0.1, I guess).

Try experimenting with that.
