In that case you can probably get away with /etc/hosts.

If you're new to networking, it helps to have some documentation, though. This is all described in some detail in "The Complete FreeBSD", second edition (http://www.cdrom.com/titles/os/bsdbook2.htm). If you don't have that, though, it would help to see the networking entries in the /etc/rc.conf of each system. Maybe you could describe the whole setup in more detail.
