Q: 

Selenium: Is there a way to change the hosts file on the machine the server is running on

I want to make the browser open a local url with a name of the live url. Meaning that when I do:

sel.open('http://live-url/)

selenium will actually open the local url.

One would test this by changing it's hosts file but this is impossible when running on many machines.

ideas?
