At the risk of stating the obvious, how are people going to find your web app if you don't use DNS????? The whole point behind having www.google.com or what ever is that you use DNS to translate that to an IP address. Security through obscurity???

How can I mask or hide my ip address behind a 'friendly name' when users access my web app via web browser. Currently, when they hit the app, their browser shows 192.xx.xxx.xx instead of 'myserver'. I am running Web logic 7 on a Win2k server, have specifically chosen not to register the server in our enterprise DNS for security reasons.
