Ahhh, the Socrates method, my fav form of instruction. Mirco, as Ron is hinting at and as I said (see the "first idea" I had) run a DNS server. DNS came about because sys admin became to in shape and physically dangerous to there managers from all the running around they had to do to keep the hosts files in sync. Edit the DNS entry, all machines pick up the new data: IT works stay soft and flabby, chicks don't dig them, they stay motivated to stay at the office, managers can continue to push IT sys admin around with out threat of physical harm.
