First off apologies if you got multiple posts from me. My mail client threw a fit!
You can get this to work without a proxy. I will assume you are running a dhcp server. If so just make sure it serves up your internal dns. Your internal dns obviously should forward any requests it doesn't know about out to the internet. In our dhcpd.conf we have the line: option domain-name-servers 192.168.77.2; So when a request for an ip comes from a device ( pc / phone etc ) it will also get your dns information. If you are not providing a dns service to the internet then its a little easier as we can avoid internal and external views. The simplest way is to add the host name of your pc in the dns. Remember to restart the server services. Best regards, Phil.
