Use the IP address and not a name. Or put an entry in your local host file with the name and the IP address you want it to be.
If you need it for just one host, that is probably a fine way. If you need it for a whole intranet the usual way is to have a local (inside) nameserver with intranet addresses and then have an external nameserver with outside addresses. The inside server will resolve names (domains) it knows about and forward ones it doesn't outside. This is usually called split DNS. You can do this for just one inside host. -- glen
