Are you sure that problem is related to DNS name and/or port of your web server? If yes you can use your local IIS instead of webdev server, configure a website yourdomain.com and add an entry to the hosts saying 127.0.0.1 yourdomain.com
If I understand correctly of what you're trying to do and the application settings are on Facebook's website, Facebook will not be able to connect to your computer with 'localhost'. Get the IP address of your computer and type that into the application settings page.
To find your IP: http://whatismyipaddress.com/
You have to create a ssh tunnel FROM develop server TO your localhost computer. Each request to dev server will be processed by your computer and send back.
