Set up a DNS server.  If this is entirely within a private LAN, you don't
even need a real domain name -- you could use ".company" or ".local" if
you want.  You could pull a used PC from the garbage, wipe the hard disk,
put BSD or Linux on it, and have it serving DNS for your organization
in an hour.
