I tried:-

echo "0.0.0.0 functionalclam.com" >> /etc/hosts

but a subsequent http request for http://functionalclam.com resulted in a page served by the web service listening on localhost.

edit: append to, don't clobber /etc/hosts

Try 127.0.0.254 then.

Or 0.0.0.1, and spare yourself the spurious loopback traffic.

Is 0.0.0.0/8 unused or something?
