How do I give my computers subdomain names on my local network? For example, mylaptop.mynetwork.com, mydesktop.mynetwork.com, momslaptop.mynetwork.com, kids.mynetwork.com and so on?
Do I have to set up some kind of local DNS or is there an easier way to do it in the router?
I am not concerned at this point about being able to access the subdomains from the WAN although that would be handy later. It's the LAN I'm interested in.
(Obviously I am using Bonjour right now but for I want to use the subdomains too).
I own mynetwork.com and it points to a static IP.
My LAN router is firewalled behind that. It's a WRT54G running DD-WRT.
I have a spare computer I could run DNS on but I'd rather not have to do that.
Everything is Macs running OS X, mostly Leopard.

Should I buy a new Mac Pro or wait for the Penryn version? Complications below the fold. [more inside]

The power connector to my G4 Powerbook is almost dead. It only charges in one very specific position, and I have to twist it around for a few seconds to find the sweetspot (rotating it in situ). Nothing is loose and nothing is visibly wrong. I tried squeezing the metal sleeve slightly to make it more elliptical in the hope this would create a tighter connection, but it made no difference.
