[Xitami] local IP v. domain

[M. Jason Smiley]

yes.

remember your domain name (archaetext.com) points to your public (internet)
ip address. you can't access that from your private network behind your
firewall. so you need to setup a local dns entry for archaetext.com to point
to your private ip of the workstation.

do like below - unless you run your on dns server, in which case just make a
dns entry for it.

example - my domain is smiley.tzo.com - on the public internet it points to
my public ip of 204.210.245.111 - but inside my home network i run a dns
server and it's entry for smiley.tzo.com points to 192.168.13.200
