Dark, Creating the names on the subnet you are using shouldn't be a hassle. To you or anyone else, since it is on an unrouted subnet (192.168) Only time it would be a problem is if you ever try to go to a real domain named darkforce.com ... you'll keep getting your box. (Yes I've seen that happen years ago..) But heck ya gotta name em sumpin. :)
