I do this using storedconfigs and virtual resources for hosts. For example:
@@host { "$hostname.private":
ip => $ipaddress_eth1,
ensure => present,
alias => "$hostname"
}
Host <<| |>>
What this does is when the machine first connects, it creates a virtual
resource for itself, then when another machine connects, it will realize it and
get added to the machine's /etc/hosts
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eric
