Name instead of IP.

How to open the dialer home page , by some name instead of the IP ?

Like Instead of typing 192.168.0.1 , if someone types, mydialer, it should open the dialer page on the browser.

1) Install DNS service on a server locally
2) Learn how to register a server/system on your local router's DHCP service (which may work, or may not) and use DHCP in your vicidial server to "register" the name
3) Purchase a domain and register any name at that domain in the DNS package of your registrar (ie: we own poundteam.com, so we can register "server1.poundteam.com" as any valid IP address, local or internet, that we want. And when an agent enters server1.poundteam.com, their web browser will find the appropriate ip and request the page).
4) Modify the appopriate file "hosts" on EVERY computer you want to be able to use this feature on, to "hard-code" that name=that ip on each.

Lasy but Not a good step :

Modify the appopriate file "hosts" on EVERY computer you want to be able to use this feature on, to "hard-code" that name=that ip on each

Pretty tedious step .

but when the boss says "get it done, but don't spend any money", that's the winner (if the agent computers in question have NO INTERNET , and the router in question is too cheap to support dynamic name registration)
