If you modify the hosts file on each machine in the workgroup, I don't see why not.

Or setup a 'local' DNS server that would direct requests internally without ever hitting "the cloud".

may i set my modem to redirect some url to exact ip ? – AmirModiri Mar 29 '11 at 15:55
@AmirModiri - I am not familiar with the Airties modem - does it have a built-in DNS resolution feature? Does it handle routing natively, or is there a router on your network? If there is a router, then does it handle DNS resolution> – warren Mar 29 '11 at 16:08
