again, do you need a non-unixlike host to be able to access these machines
by their given names? of not, the /etc/hosts file would be quite sufficent

ie:

127.0.0.1	localhost
192.168.0.2	foo.localnet	foo
192.168.0.3	blah.localnet	blah
205.253.202.11	myfoo.myisp.com	myfoo
205.253.202.12	myblah.myisp.com	myblah

assuming this was on machine foo, and you wished to connect to blah, you
would only need to type <A HREF="http://blah/~uzer";><A HREF="http://blah/~uzer</A">http://blah/~uzer</A</A>> yadda yadda, by default domain
queries get sent to the hosts files, then the resolv.conf is used...
