I'm not running my own DNS server,
and would prefer not to.

I'm not quite sure what "dual-homed" means.
The machine on which httpd runs has a fixed IP address.
Is there any way this machine could be accessed on the local LAN
through this IP address, rather than 192.168... ?

I'd rather not run a DNS server on my machine.
I tried this some years ago, and ran into trouble.

Why not put mydomain.com 192.168.whatever in your /etc/hosts file?  No need to
run a dns server to hard-code one single lookup like that.

Thanks very much, that seems to work.
I added "www.myserver.com" to the line starting 192.168.2.5.
