Thanks for responses:
I did have a hosts file in my Drivers/etc so here it is. I added the 199.9.9.99
#     38.25.63.10   x.acme.com         # x client host

127.0.0.1     localhost
199.9.9.99  devSite

That is not of course the IP of my machine, I just made it up.

Then I updated my server.xml file like so:
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
   <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
        resourceName="UserDatabase" />

   <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps">

   </Host>

   <Host name="devSite" debug="0" appBase="/dev"
     unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
        <Context path="" docBase=""
           debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true" />

    </Host>
  </Engine>

But when I hit [http://devSite], I get a timeout error?
Any ideas? I also tried http://199.9.9.99 but nothing?
