You could add the remote machine to your local /etc/hosts (*nix) or 
c:/windows/hosts (win -- at least win98 and me) so that you could access 
it with a host name (or names) that weren't resolved via DNS.

 From my /etc/hosts file:

192.168.123.60  mothra
192.168.123.60  sub.mothra

192.168.123.60 is a box on my local network, no DNS records for it but I 
can still go to http://mothra/ or http://sub.mothra/ and end up where I 
want to be. The httpd.conf on mothra has name virtual hosts that 
correspond to those hostnames.
