I have a local host server hosting a few applications in tomcat which comes through a apache proxy

The client or User trying to access these application has to access them like

10.XXX.XXX.XX:8080/appName 

OR

10.XXX.XXX.XX/appName 

But I want to replace the ip address with soem other name related to my applications. But I cannot go and enter the host name of the server in each users /etc/host Nor do I want to be setting up DNS.

Is there another way to do this.

I am using

ProxyPass XXX YYY

to redirect all applications of tomcat to port 80
