new to apache

[Murugs]

Hello
I installed apache and I am trying my hands on it.
I installed apache on win2k server and planning to host a intranet. From client pcs I am able to see the default page by typing

http://Ip_addof_server.

But what I want is instead of Ip address

http://intranet.mycompany.com

and it shud load the default page. I figured out how to do this by editing the hosts file of the local client and it works fine.
Is there any other smart way to do this..as it is tedious to go and edit each and every user's hosts file in the company.
Is it anything related to virtual hosts..

regards
MP
