If I understand you correctly, this is easy. I do something like that
for easy access to my home workstation from outside. The home machine's
`real' name is something like ipW-X-Y-Z.ph.ph.cox.net (IP address
W.X.Y.Z). My laptop contains, in /etc/hosts:
W.X.Y.Z ipW-X-Y-Z.ph.ph.cox.net hostname
where `hostname' is the box's local hostname.
You should be able to put in your /etc/hosts:
A.B.C.D www.site2.org www.site1.org
where A.B.C.D is the site's IP address. Then if you put www.site1.org
in your browser, you will actually get www.site2.org.
