i thank all the people who gifted me with their valuable input......

in my humble opinion, we can do an nslookup for the particular website and add a route to direct the request to127.0.0.1 for that IP.

the downside to that method is that, it should be used for only a couple of sites because populating a router with too many entries would slow it down.

comments and corrections are welcome!
