The best would be to set up a DNS server for your LAN.

Short of that, you can set up clients to periodically FTP your master
/etc/hosts file via a cron job and 'fetch'. On Windows machines you might be
able to FTP (or plain-old copy, if you're running Samba) from a DOS batch
file that you run periodically from one of the many schedulers available.
