Working with on local debug environment

Hey

I've been working on some basic html holding pages in Visual Studio 2012.  They are to be used ocasionally on say a NAS box viahttp://servername/.  While building a basic site, is there a way to make <a href="/"> resolve on the debug Development server?  Usually launches site to something like http://localhost:58425/site/index.html locally.  Is the url configurable so that the "site/" part could be omitted?

Thanks for your time.
