We have a DNS Server for our "in the building" stuff but that is only

This is very normal in intranets. IT will maintain the DNS server, often
tying in LDAP / Active Directory etc. Various departments will use host
files for their intra-intra LANs. Allows quick changes for stuff that isn't
accessed outside the team without bothering the IT department and keeps
things private and friendly.
