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

[Tomas Wolf <tomas () skip cz>]

well, there are some ways... But to operate and see 
"http://host.domain.suffix"; instead of "nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn", the client 
needs to resolve the name into an IP.. And that is done by using DNS 
Server. I don't know if there is some sort of a registry entry that 
could "hardcode" this NAME --> IP translation.
And sloppy version is, if you are on a switched network (no layer 3 
devices in the way), one can use "computer_name" (I think it must be the 
same broadcast domain) in IEX... But that is kind of useless.

Good luck -- Tomas
