A simple addition to your /etc/hosts file will suffice.
Your computer should query this file; recognize that it is in fact a node on the local subnet. Then it will access the ARP table for the MAC address of the station in question. If it is not already mapped in the ARP table, your system will execute an ARP query ot the subnet. This will all be done prior to execution of a DNS_REQUEST onto your internet trunk.
Add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:
192.168.x.x www.rikjoh.com www
