I like the first idea. Also, according to [RFC 
2006](http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt), the `.test` TLD is reserved for DNS 
Resolution testing purposes. We can use this TLD and set multiple aliases in a 
custom hosts file like this:

> wgetserver1.test localhost
> wgetserver2.test localhost

And any required subdomains as well. This allows us to have multiple domains 
and subdomains which is useful for testing `--span-hosts` and cookies across 
domains and many other test scenarios. 

I guess, the best approach would be to have a default `wgetserver.test 
localhost` in one file and then allow each test to modify this file and add new 
aliases.
