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.
