use frames... have them go to unsecureserver.enterprise.org and have it open up 192.168.x.x in a frame that takes up 
the whole screen.  They'll be able to find the IP if they look at the source, but for the average user they'll not even 
think about it.

Subject: 'masking' or 'hiding' am ip address from a web browser


How can I mask or hide my ip address behind a 'friendly name' 
when users
access my web app via web browser. Currently, when they hit 
the app, their
browser shows  192.xx.xxx.xx instead of 'myserver'. I am 
running Web logic 7
on a Win2k server, have specifically chosen not to register 
the server in
our enterprise DNS for security reasons. 

Thanks in advance.
