The IIS and Windows teams should work together to optionally enable the Windows DNS client to check for IIS website host names on the local machine and return the loopback adapter on a hostname match before querying the DNS server. That is to say, the addition
of a web site should optionally have the same net effect of adding to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts:
127.0.0.1 websitename.domain.com
When troubleshooting an app on a web farm / load balancer, such as when retrieving detailed error information which is only retrievable from the server desktop as localhost as the details are filtered on local client access, it is an arduous process to open
up the hosts file to point the hostname to 127.0.0.1 so that web browser queries on the machine don't map out to the load balancer. This need is typical for real-world environments.
