Dotan,
If you are using the dhcp server in the router to assign ip addresses, then I 
think that it is safe to assume that you have no name server on your local 
network.

If this is the case, then you will most likely be relying on the /etc/hosts to 
obtain your ip addresses from a name.

If you were to have a named server in your client.conf such as:
ServerName myRouter

where "myRouter" is defined in your /etc/hosts file to point to the router 
itself.

Would that work?
