    possible yes, just use an IP for everything, but why? is this for a lab, just install a local dns server, ad will do as well just manually add the dns . It will work by IP but its not really designed to, though they may ahve fixed in the last two years. I haven't tested this since I don't know of a reason not to use dns.
