Need to ensure I can setup a Wowza Sever and playback to mobile devices. Client wants an easy URL name and not just an IP. Can the Mac machine name work in this case? ie: server1.local - or will I need a DNS Server?

Will iOS and Android devices be able to easily playback? I’m also in the desert and will not be able to be online for Wowza licensing. How do I overcome this?
