This is no problem asides from DNS.
You will have DNS records set up for your hosted service with public IP
addresses. It's quite straight forward to add a subdomain and assign non
routable IP addresses to it.
Downside is it will look odd to an observer, and will leak some info
about your internal network.
As an alternative you can still use the same naming convention but not
put it in the public domain. This will require you to set up your own
internal DNS service or hosts files and have DNS queries resolved
locally without going to the external DNS server.
