Michael, "names" on a network are fake.
There are only IP address in a network .
You "translate a name" into its corresponding IP address via a "name
resolution service"
A "name resolution service" can be as simple as an /etc/hosts file or as
complex as a full blown self-replicating/redundant name server (like bind).
At the end, EVERYTHING goes via an IP address, so your question might
actually work in reverse:
> I was wondering.... could you do this via NAMEs?
Yes, assuming that the name can be translated via some "name resolution
service"
