Yup. I set up a DNS server on my lan to respond to my fake domain. Sorry, I used a friend's DNS configuration as a guide, so I cannot give too many examples. I did check the freebsd handbook for many small items for dns though. Just make sure your hostname matches the dns stuff to make life easier. > > 2.
