On OS X how can I setup a route so that when I make a request to 10.0.0.1 it is redirected to localhost? Right now I can do curl localhost:3000 and get back a blob of HTML from my running node web server. I'd like to be able to do curl 10.0.0.1:3000 and have that redirected to localhost. The 10.0.0.1 IP is arbitrary, just used for this example :)
Is there a way in IIS to enable basic authentication for remote requests while leaving the website open for local requests? I need external users to authenticate to access a site, but users on the local machine should not have to.
I noticed that SQL Server Web is vastly cheaper than SQL Server Standard on Amazon Web Services. Why is that? What am I missing if I use SQL Server Web instead of Standard?
I am a solo developer and the sites I'm deploying are very small, usually hobby sites and I have a few questions about the Amazon services.
Is there a reason for me to use beanstalk or should I just stick with a single ec2 instance?
Should I use RDS for database? I heard someone say that I could just install a database on my ec2 instance, making it cheaper. I'm trying to keep everything as cheap as possible.
I need to point custom domains to my sites. Pretty sure that means I have to deal with elastic IPs. Do those work with beanstalk or only with individual ec2 instances?
Thanks in advance!
