Hi,
Individual clients can add the IP and desired hostname to their
"hosts" file ("lmhosts" on Windows).
On Unix you can edit /etc/hosts and add it like this:
192.168.1.110 subversion
However, it's alot easier to just make the change once in DNS
than to manage hosts entries in every single client machine, and
I definitely recommend DNS over hosts file entries.
When you say "registering a DNS", what do you mean? You
don't have to register a whole new domain with e.g. Network
Solutions, we're just talking about subdomains here.
Unless you are using another form of name resolution (unlikely),
then there's not much else to do. The client needs to somehow
be able to (at least) resolve the hostname to an IP address,
and DNS is the most common way of doing this.
HTH,
Rob
