Congrats on your achievements so far. You should know however that it's
considered rude to send HTML e-mail to any public list.

You don't want to use dns for this. You want to put the entries for
your 3 hosts in your /etc/hosts file, then make sure that /etc/host.conf
says something like:
# First try the /etc/hosts file
hosts
# Now try the nameserver next.
bind
Then you'll be all set.
Good luck,
Doug
