VM Networking (Parallels or VMWare) as if in OS X?

I'm curious to know if this is even possible. I do web development and normally, I have to type the full IP of my OS X IP and local web path to test through my VM. Here's what I'm curious about.. in OS X, I have a hosts file that I've setup, so I can use just keywords to get to my local sites (instead of typing "localhost/subdirectory"). Can I make it to where all internet traffic is directed through OS X, so I don't have to create separate hosts definitions in my VM?

So if I delegate a word in my OS X hosts file, it would then automatically direct to the same place in my VM?

Any thoughts? Is this completely impossible to do?
 
Not with a hosts file, that's just for local name resolution. You could try setting up BIND on your OS X machine and doing your hacks in there and then pointing the VM to OS X for DNS.
