Rails - Feb 2008 - Wildcard Subdomains & OS X Local Development

I''m using the simple account_location plugin to have virtual
subdomains on my app (account.myapp.com - see Basecamp, Blinksale,
etc.)

How do you go about setting up your OS X system to play nice? I''d like
to use Apache & Mongrel.

Notes: The only thing I''ve able to accomplish is hardcoding the
subdomains directly in my hosts file. I can get "test.localhost.com"
to work fine, that''s not really a wildcard subdomain.  I
wouldn''t be
able to test the app''s ability to create and recognize subdomains

I''d gotten the tip to setup a local DNS server, but I couldn''t
get
anything installed right.

Used it on all my computers already and works perfectly.
