You cannot change the remote server's IP address this way or with redirection

Let's say that your computer's DNS will not resolve that hostname to an IP address.

The hosts file will resolve the IP address for that name.

If your country or company's internal Intranet has blocked that domain's resolution; using its IP and not name may work.If not, you need a "man in the middle": SQUID Proxy server or a VPN.

Using server redirection will not allow the return packets addressed to your IP if the sender's hostname and IP are blocked. So, using that domain's server would not be possible after the initial page load.



You want to get to a banned site? You need a "man in the middle": SQUID Proxy server or a VPN.

There is a way to configure an http://IP/DocumentRoot for a server that way you can communicate with the server's DocumentRoot for its shared IP. Is that what you are trying to do?
