I'd like to make a local machine available (for domain network) through a www address.
To do so I though I could use our DNS and set an alias like www. => MACHHINENAME.
Can it be done that way?

Yes you can. You have to use the CNAME record type for this. The record should look like this:
www.yourdomain.com IN CNAME webserver.yourdomain.com.
Check your DNS server administration manual on how to set this up.
