37signals/pow — Issue #249: Pow sites require net access (DNS)

I noticed that Pow-hosted sites don't immediately work in the browser when you're offline. Adding a specific entry to your hosts file will enable that specific site, but then you're mucking around in your hosts file for every name.dev site.

I wonder if there is a way (firewall rule perhaps?) to bind *.dev to 127.0.0.1 during the Pow install? Unfortunately you can't use wildcards in /etc/hosts files.
