Yeah, except the Powerbook users will take that with them when they try 
to access the server from home. Can the hosts file associate multiple 
IPs for the same host?

Jesse: when people access this server from outside the LAN, where is 
the DNS server that returns the IP located? You can configure BIND to 
give two different "views" of the domain - one for hosts accessing it 
from the internet and one for hosts on the LAN. I'm not sure if this is 
possible if the DNS server isn't within your subnet, tho'
