[conspire] internal rerouting problem

[Ehud Kaldor]

got a not-exactly-linux question, but with the expertise here, it might be
worth asking:

i am setting up a local wordpress on one of my ubuntus. it is to serve
externally. now, the way wordpress works is that you set the address
("www.ehud.example") and it is accessible only by that. so, if i set it to
"localhost" or the internal address, it will be accessible only from the
local network, and if i set it to www.ehud.example it will be accessible
only from the outside, and not locally.
so, the only thing i can think of is to set some local redirection
internally, to redirect www.ehud.example to the local address.

i am not too familiar with how to setup DNS. tried briefly to set bind9 on
the server and set it as DNS on the router, but it seems a lot of work for
such a small task. the d-link dir-655 router i use does not run its own DNS,
so cannot use that.

any other ideas? is there an external DNS service (like opendns) that allow
you to set local redirections as well?

thanks,
Ehud
