No joy. Look again. :)

No, but you can add your entries to the hosts files on the windows
machines too. Look for c:\windows\HOSTS.sam, edit it with notepad and
save it as HOSTS. You will probably have to rename it from HOSTS.txt to
HOSTS after you save it, since windows is retarded.
I have a home network here, and I have never bothered to set up DNS for
it. The entries don't change, so there is really no point. DNS is very
difficult to get right, very easy to get wrong (in ways that are totally
non-obvious) and really isn't worth it for what you want to do. I know,
I do DNS for a living. :)
