[CentOS] SSH hostname login

[Kai]

Correct this is a private network, works perfect Thank you Alexander.

The server receives the ip from a router and therefore I'd like to use a 
host name, since ip can change when rebooting router or server.

That would be the next issue since the 192.168.0.100/200 did not do it.

Do I have to enter all the ip addresses given from router to solve this 
or is there a one line solution?
