title: IIS 7 Host Headers Not Working
body: <p>I'm having a problem binding my websites on my local windows 7 machine.  When I create a new website I specify the local machine path, then I edit the bindings to add a host header of site1.com.  When I enter "http://site1.com" in the browser address bar, it responds with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The connection has timed out
  The server at site1.com is taking too long to respond.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I theorize that it has something to do with my DNS trying to retrieve the ip address for site1.com on the net as opposed to my local implementation.  If I leave the host header blank, bind to port 8080, and enter "http://localhost:8080" in the address bar it works fine though.  Any suggestions?</p>
