apt and dists



folks,
i can't find the docs on this, really, or i am merely too confused.
bear with me please...
i've heard you can configure apt/dpkg so that it knows about e.g.
testing and unstable versions of the same archive (e.g.
main/binary-i386), and then pass an option to apt/dpkg which causes it
to select the appropriate distribution on a per-packet basis.

specifically, i want to be testing by default, but have the ability to
just like that use apt-get to install a package from unstable, without
apt-get update following an edit of sources.list.

any ideas on what i should do?
