DNS domain which resolves names to local IP addresses

Is there a domain name which resolves something like "domain192-168-1-128" to the IP 192.168.1.128 ?
I am trying to test a site on my local network which uses "subdomains" (e.g. portal-admin.localhost) from a mobile device. E.g.
- Machine "Server" hosts the web site "portal-admin.localhost"
- Machine "Server" is with IP 192.168.1.128
- I don't want to have to setup a DNS server on my LAN nor change '/etc/hosts' file
What I want is an external domain which provides this resolution service.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, there is a service like that: http://freedns.afraid.org/
You can login there and have free subdomains you can use for testing.
For example, right now i have "web.leet.la" pointing to "192.168.1.1".
And just for you there is "ts.leet.la" pointing to "192.168.1.128".
Feel free to do a DNS-lookup on it and use it as you need.
And if this is not what you're asking/looking for then the answer is No. An external service that literally maps 'portal-admin.localhost' or 'domain192-168-1-128' to '192.168.1.128' does not exist :-)

+1 Excellent! If I only get it to work... When, for example, I put "portal-admin.mooo.com" with an A record to "192.168.1.128", it seems this gets resolved to "127.0.0.2" which is clearly not what I want.

On my end it's working! portal-admin.mooo.com points to 192.168.1.128. Always give it some time to refresh global DNS-caches and don't forget to flush your local DNS-cache!

Actually there is Xip.io which does exactly what you asked for: http://xip.io/
For example 192.168.1.128.xip.io resolves to 192.168.1.128.

Set the DNS in your "hosts" file on whatever computer you want to test from.
In Linux, it typically exists at "/etc/hosts".
In Windows, it typically exists at "C:windowssystem32driversetchosts"
You could set it up with the following lines:
192.168.1.128 portal-admin.localhost
192.168.1.128 subdomain1.portal-admin.localhost
192.168.1.128 subdomain2.portal-admin.localhost
Alternatively, you could setup the proper "local" DNS entries on a domain you already own & manage,
localhost.somedomainname.com -> 127.0.0.1
*.localhost.somedomainname.com -> 127.0.0.1
internalnetwork.somedomainname.com -> 192.168.1.128
*.internalnetwork.somedomainname.com -> 192.168.1.128

You can buy some cheap domain name and start makin your subdomain. for example somegoodname.whatever(.com) and after in administration page you can start makin subdomains like server1.somegoodname.net has A record 192.168.1.100
