I am using my hosts file to force the computer to use the website on my
local box when I go to this particular URL.  Does enabling
Authentication somehow cause the browser to go around the host file and
use the web, because this is a URL that doesn't exist on the Internet.
If so, is there any way to have my hosts file and authentication too?
