Hi,
I'm developing a new MVC 5 app that is a Windows Azure cloud service. It also uses Facebook authentication.
The problem is that when I debug my code, the Azure emulators are forcing IIS Express to use 127.0.0.1:SomePortNumber. Even though I enter this IP and port number in Facebook app profile as the sandbox URL, Facebook refuses to redirect back to 127.0.0.1 -- I assume due to security reasons.
I posted some questions about this on StackOverflow and someone suggested this solution:

It's easy enough to create an entry in my local hosts file but how do I get both Visual Studio and IIS Express to use a fake domain for debugging purposes as opposed to 127.0.0.1?
I'd appreciate your help with this. Thanks.
P.S. Once, for whatever reason, Visual Studio/IIS Express, used 127.0.0.2 and Facebook accepted that IP. So, I'd be perfectly happy if I could get my app to use 127.0.0.2 to debug my app.
