Is there any way to make my 'external' host name resolve correctly when used on my home network behind a NAT router firewall?
To access the apache server on my Linux box from the outside world the address is:- http://84-45-228-40.no-dns-yet.enta.net/
Is there any way I can get this to resolve when used on the LAN at home? This would allow me to send URLs to my wife and/or other family members so they can use them directly rather than me having to remember to change the 84-45-228-40.no-dns-yet.enta.net to the local name of my Linux box.
I could go round adding an entry to all the LMHOSTS/HOSTS files in the Windows systems I suppose but that seems a little laborious.
