If you just need 'mail.ckent.org' to resolve to your local address, just 
put it in your '/etc/hosts' file, or whatever the equivalent is on you 
embedded system.

BTW, if it's an embedded system that never leaves your network, why do 
you need it to work with an outside address?  Why can't you just use the 
local IP?
