Local web development?

[benw]

I'm trying to develop a website on my local network but I keep getting annoying ABE notices.

The domain is mapped to the IP in my Windows hosts file e.g.

192.168.12.34 new.domain.com

At that location I have an .htaccess file with some mod_rewrite stuff and an index.php file that echoes "Hello". When I browse to the index.php, I sometimes get ABE notifications:

Request {GET http://new.domain.com/ <<< http://new.domain.com/, http://new.domain.com/ - 6} filtered by ABE: <LOCAL> Deny

There are some other domains I develop that are set up like this but I don't get any ABE notices when I browse to them.

What should I do?

Thanks,
