Mhr,

If what you are asking is can you setup an internal dns name to IP address
and IP address to name resolution and call it what you want...

yes you can

You can call it whatever you want.

Just do not use names that are "resolvable" in public IP address space or
that would get you in trouble with the law for whatever reason.

I also suggest that you read up on the mechanics of having machines you
control that do both public and private dns
