Of course; the trick is to do it in such a way that when - may it be soon! - he gets out from behind that routing device changing to a real DNS setup will be quick, relatively painless, and not complicate anyone else's life. I recommended installing Bind 9 and using views.

In general, you would choose a TLD (the last part of a domainname, like .org or .net) that does not exist on the internet, so that you never confuse it with a real domainname. .lan, .home or .here are good candidates. -- Melvyn === FreeBSD sarevok.webteckies.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #3: Tue Dec 30 14:31:47 CET 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SAREVOK_NOAPM_NODEBUG i386 === pgp0.pgp Description: signature

You can name it anything you like. If it were me, I'd set up an
internal DNS which is authoritative for the local domain name you've
chosen. That way it'll pick up the local machines for the domain-name
but still work for non-local domains.
I use this method all the time.
If you look at the headers of this email you'll find that my mail server
on my LAN refers to my desktop machine as "spatula.flat" which clearly
isn't a valid domain name :)
Here's how I set my local DNS up. Whenever I have to set it up again
somewhere else I always struggle to get it right, so hopefully this'll
help you out and mean that I can look it up in the archives next time I
forget. :D
I add the following to /etc/namedb/named.conf
-- start --
zone "flat" {
type master;
file "flat.fwd";
};
zone "0.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type master;
file "0.168.192.rev";
};
-- end --
Create /etc/namedb/flat.fwd with :
-- start --
; Zonefile for .flat
$TTL86400 ;default ttl 1day
@ IN SOA myriad.flat root.myriad.flat. (
2003102501 ;serial number YYMMDDNN
28800 ;refresh8 hours
7200;retry 2 hours
864000 ;expire 10 days
86400 ) ;min ttl1 day
NS myriad.flat.
$ORIGIN flat.
ewenIN A 192.168.0.1
spatula IN A 192.168.0.2
simmy IN A 192.168.0.2
guest0 IN A 192.168.0.100
guest1 IN A 192.168.0.101
guest2 IN A 192.168.0.102
myriad IN A 192.168.0.254
smtpIN PTR myriad.flat.
mailIN PTR myriad.flat.
pop3IN PTR myriad.flat.
imap4 IN PTR myriad.flat.
-- end --
And create /etc/namedb/0.168.192.rev containing:
-- start --
$TTL 86400
@IN SOA myriad.home. root.myriad.home (
200401080
86400
7200
864
86400 )
IN NS myriad.home.
1 IN PTR ewen.flat.
2 IN PTR spatula.flat.
3 IN PTR simmy.flat.
4 IN PTR spatula.home.
100 IN PTR guest0.flat.
101 IN PTR guest1.flat.
102 IN PTR guest3.flat.
254 IN PTR myriad.flat.
-- end --
Hopefully they're not to difficult to understand. The syntax of the
files is pretty specific though.
Oh and you need named_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf
Mail back if you have any problems!
