Much thanks. I'll get cracking on that as soon as possible. I will look at the DNS server in the medium term, and go with the /etc/hosts for now I think. Nice one. If you go down the nameserver route in the future you might want to check out pdnsd. It might meet your needs and is a lot easier to set up then bind although not as configurable. You'll find it on Freshmeat. Anybody used pdnsd on a network of any size? I've just used it primarily as a caching nameserver for my small home network but have been pleased with it.
Never had any problems with bind - it works "out of the box" as a caching nameserver and takes maybe 10 minutes to set up a private DNS zone. Michael
