iOS Browser View VHost on LAN Workstation

I'm developing a website that has a phone component to it. I want to view it on my iPhone. I know I can use Safari to replicate this experience, but I'd like to get my iPhone to view it. Here is my setup:

  • static IP for workstation
  • multiple vhosts on workstation
  • example3.local is the assumed vhost domain name
  • my router doesn't have a manageable dns table I can park pointers in

I've tried bouncing off the default nginx .local domain but that still relies upon the example3.local dns, so I'm back to the pointer issue.

I suspect there is an overlooked solution that I haven't looked at. Any insight appreciated. Cheers
