I am trying to set up an MP3 jukebox, and the way to vote for the songs is via the web. What I am wondering, is there a way to set something up in apache or somewhere else in linux, where I can make up some name, like mp3server and it will then point to the IP address? I know this is possible with IIS. Is it possible to do something like this with apache? :confused:

Thanks for any help!

I think you want to use DNS...to resolve ip's to names.For simple local net you could stick your hostnames in /etc/hosts file and all should be fine.See bind section of www.isc.org (http://www.isc.org) for named dns server.Hope this helps.
