Dynamic vs static references

I've been told by the manager of the web development department here that
everything they've read regarding dynamic references to webservices was bad.
That they should be avoided and it was recommended to use a hostname in the
local hosts file to point at the machine where webservices exist.

Problem I have with this method is that we can't have versioned websites on
the same machine pointing to staging webservices on multiple machines. For
instance, we have a website, call it website A. It uses webservices. So we
setup a staging environment where we have website A-V1, and website A-V2.
The webservices reside on 2 different machines. One is staging the other is
production.

I want website A-V1 to point at webservices on machine 1.
and website A-V2 to point at webservices on machine 2.

Using dynamic webreferences accomplishes this, using the hosts file does
not. Can anyone give me good arguments why I shouldn't try to persuade
management towards dynamic references? Seems like such a basic issue.
