Its not about using DNS, its simply configuring the local host correctly

The domain name doesn't really mean much outside of DNS, particularly

Manually managing IP addresses and domain names is risky business;
likely you'll get it wrong & wonder why it doesn't work.
DNS something which would be used for other hosts....

I don't want either; I use DNS for all my LANs.
