The trouble with that approach is you then need to modify /etc/hosts on
every machine on your LAN, plus any guest machines etc.

Setting up internal DNS isn't complicated, or heavy-weight, or a drain on
resources or anything much.  Do it once and it's done, and by implication
the OP already has an internal server on which it could run.
