Tom:

Thanks. We (Bucknell University) belong to the InCommon Federation.  I did
not know that we could include test SP metadata in the InCommon Federation
metadata.  As an aside, is the addition of test metadata why some members'
entityId (for example, PSU) is of the form urn:mace:incommon:psu.edu, while
ours is of the form https://shib.bucknell.edu/idp/shibboleth ?

If we already belong to InCommon, would it be better to use REEP for test
metadata?

I might just use Scott's suggestion and just modify the developers'
workstations' hosts file.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Mike
