Aliases for hostnames in viewer

I have a bunch of servers on a LAN with static IP's and have routed
then through the firewall with individual port mappings. For example I
use http://mydomain.com:9999 to map to the machine on the LAN with IP
192.168.62.7 listening on port 5900. This works great, there are a
dozen machines variously running W2000/XP/Linux available. The problem
is I can't easily reemember which is which! They do all have their own
hostnames on the LAN which I know, so what I'm after is an alias
facility such that in the vncviewer url box I can key in "morpheus"
and have it map to the URL I gave, rather than having to remember the
portnames for each host.

Cheers
