only on an intranet...

[airedale]

I am trying to set up an apache web server that is only on an intranet. I would like to make it so that people can just open their browser and type in something like: "webserver" and that would open up the web page.

Thanks for any input

There's quite a few ways you could do this. You could just have people type in the ip address of the web server (set it as homepage or bookmark), or you could add an entry in the clients /etc/hosts assuming your clients are linux, (it's winnt/system/drivers/etc/hosts for a win2k box), or you could use a name server. Your solution should mainly be dependant on how many clients you have, if it's just a few then editting the hosts files would be simple enough, if it's more then you might want to set up a name server.
