Is it possible to add local domain name like (serverabc.com )on local network

Question

I have the local webserver on ubuntu inside virtual machine. Currently i access it via IP like

http://10.0.11.111

Is it possible i can DNS name for that ip which works only on local network like

http://companyserver.com

Answer 1

Yes. See /etc/hosts/, you want something like this:

10.0.11.111    companyserver.local

(don't use .com unless you have to, it's bad practice)
