Find IP-address of Akamai staging servers.

• If you don’t know edge hostname, use dig to get it from the hostname:

  dig example.com CNAME
  

• Add “-staging” after edgehostname (e.g. www.example.com.edgesuite-staging.net, www.example.com.edgekey-staging.net).
• Use dig (or just ping it) to get IP-address of staging network:

  dig www.example.com.edgekey-staging.net A
  

  Host file on Windows: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts;
  Host file on UNIX-systems: /etc/hosts.

Spoof domain in your host file.

• Use your editor of choice to add a record to host file:

  2.19.194.54 example.com
  

Done. While the record persist in host file, you’re using staging network for selected domain.
