Are you connected to the net (on this network :) ?? If *not*, then go ahead and setup a nameserver on the FreeBSD box and make it primary for c-mode.net. Have all the PCs point at the name server. If you are on the net, and for some reason cannot use a registered domain, pick a better name. Something like my.domain that won't exist in real life. You can then setup the name server and primary my.domain without too much worry of conflicts.
