Converting names to IP addresses happens as part of what the lower level
system libraries do when a connection in requested.
There are two ways to get this to work. I am assuming you are running
this on some form of *nix type system. There is a file called /etc/hosts
to which you can add names to be converted to IP addresses. There is
also DNS, which is how maps.google.com or any other widely used name is
looked up and turned to an IP address. If you have access to a DNS zone
to add an "A" record to, then this becomes available to all systems at once.
