How to create virtual domain name for RoR application?

Rails
1

Hi,

I have a application for our internal office use. Platform is Ubuntu
9.04 sever edition. with Ruby version 1.8.7 (i486-linux)
RubyGems version 1.3.7
Rack version 1.0
Rails version 2.3.5
Active Record version 2.3.5
Active Resource version 2.3.5
Action Mailer version 2.3.5
Active Support version 2.3.5
Application root /home/infinity1/OBS
Environment development
Database adapter mysql
Database schema version 0

Now suppose my IP(local) number is 192.168.0.3. how can I create a
virtual name for the application ? so that I can use www.example.com
rather http://192.168.03:3000/login_c.

Please help me regarding this. Thanks in advance.

This has nothing to do with Rails; your local DNS needs a record for
the server, with whatever name(s) you choose.

Or for a very small setup where you may not have a dns server (like in my den) I just put entries in /etc/hosts on all of the  systems.  It helps to configure your dhcp server (if you use one) to use fixed addresses for the server machine.

No! Do it right: set up DNS entries on your router/hub/switch/whatever
you connect to.

Indeed.
