Do you want to do this from the server or from a remote computer? – terdon Mar 15 at 14:14

if you have only 1 or a few clients just edit the /etc/hosts file. for more clients you need to setup a dns infrastructure

Use free dyndns sites like www.no-ip.com.. Their daemon will automatically update your IP address and ensure its always matched to your domain name. It's free too btw for 2 hosts.
