[luau] dns question?

Does windows have an equivalent of /etc/hosts? I ask because I have a
mail server for my lan with a private ip. My boxes use the internet and
public dns servers. I am guessing that the only way that I can send
mail through the local mail server from a windows box to another lan
client and be able to use a domain (fantasy, not registered) name is to
set up a domain server on my lan that resolves my private ip address to
whatever fantasy domain I choose. If you made it through that last
sentence, is this correct? Is there a way to use fictional domains on a
private lan using public dns without setting up a private dns? I know
that the domains can't be anything registered because the public dns's
will resolve them to sites unwanted.
