<p>I think you are confused.<p>Sharing your salary is one thing.<p>Saying that you are an employee at X company and make X dollars is giving away both your salary and corporate information.<p>The key is not involving the company. Share your salary as much as you want, but don't go on social media and say 'I work for X' unless you are actually their representative.</p>

<p>All web servers respond to all hostnames.  It is the default unless you have configured it otherwise.<p>In the event you are doing virtual hosts in Apache, you just add a single line:<p>ServerAlias www.example.com<p>And your webserver will respond when queried via this hostname.<p>So, even in the worst case scenario, we are talking about two very basic lines of text to accomplish your goal.<p>The whole setup should take about 60 seconds.<p>I am not trying to say that your approach is wrong, but just that there is a much simpler way to go about accomplishing this goal.<p>As far as "overthinking it".. I think we are going to have to disagree here because I am unable to see how your method of reverse engineering can possibly be simpler than something that takes practically no time or effort.<p>At any rate, this is not an argument, I just want you to be aware of your options as you continue your research.<p>I wish you luck as you continue exploring, and thanks for the writeup :)</p>

<p>Your comments give me the impression this isn't totally clicking just yet.<p>All that is necessary is to add an entry in your hosts file for hidusi[.]com that points to the IP of your existing server.<p>That's it. Step completed.<p>No localhost, no new site, just using what you have already.<p>In the event you are filtering hostnames on your web server, you would just add hidusi[.]com as another alias.<p>Please let me know if this is not clear because I believe understanding this concept will help you in the future.</p>

<p>This concept is not about explaining things in terms a 6 year old can understand.<p>It's about understanding the subject matter well enough that if necessary you could simplify and elaborate on topics to bring your audience to your level of understanding.<p>(i.e. - understanding your subject vs. being able to recite facts)<p>You really come to terms with how well you know a subject when you sit down and try to teach it to someone else.</p>

<p>Every system has a hosts file that you can edit for exactly this purpose.<p>No need to set up DNS at all.<p>Your system will resolve whatever hostnames you want to whatever IP addresses you want. You just add the entries to a text file.<p>It will always override whatever results come from DNS.<p>The author definitely went the long way with this approach.</p>

<p>Your analogy is slightly better, but even then it still misses the whole idea of hubs and connecting flights, because it's not just your trip to the beach, it's a whole network of cars trips to the beach that also depend on your trip to the beach in order for the system to function.<p>Once you start removing trips and other people take your parking spot, you don't always get your parking spot back or even one close, sometimes you might have to find all your cars a new beach to use.</p>

<p>These aren't items that are bought and sold.  If you give up your slot, you can not buy it back at any price.<p>Now your have to re-route your whole airline network.<p>The value is in terms of not bankrupting your company.</p>

<p>> <i>They have the option</i><p>That option is to lose their slot, if they lose their slots, they will probably lose an entire hub on their network that they can not regain.<p>It's not like you can just buy these slots back.  In fact, slots are valuable for the simple reason that they can not be bought and sold.  (unless airlines consolidate, and even then these transactions are heavily scrutinized)<p>You're basically saying it is better for them to tank their business so another airline can steal the slots from them.<p>And do you know what the competition will do?  They will keep that slot at all cost regardless of whether their planes are full or not, because this is how airlines maintain their network.<p>Please consider familiarizing yourself with airline network operations before speaking authoritatively on the subject.</p>

<p>You're making a strawman / false equivalence.<p>They <i>are</i> forcing them to fly the planes.<p>The company has already decided the value of the slots exceed the lost passenger revenue.<p>The company could not fly the plane, but the governments rules force the situation.<p>The rules were changed during covid to alleviate this, but now that the rules have changed back, we see the same situation again.<p>Imagine if you were faced with an equivalent dilemma:<p>You are in a situation where you will lose the right to park in your own garage for a year.<p>To keep your garage rights all you have to do is drive around aimlessly for an hour.<p>Do you decide the environment is more important, or do you want to park in your garage?</p>
