Our office is quite small and the pc's IP adresses are statically assigned.
Would it work if i spesified the ip/name in the hosts file?

If you have more problems of this kind and you are using
BIND, you might want to look at the "views" function. It
allows you to use different zone files for different queries.

Thus, you could have one zone file for the world, containing
only your external IPs, and another zonefile for your internal
network, containing both external and internal IPs. This way
you could allow courier to resolve names on private IP space
without advertising them to world.

If the courier delay is your only problem, then BIND views
is probably overkill.
