I recommend using the built in host type to model and manage entries
in /etc/hosts rather than a template.
Modeling your configuration using a type rather than a file will allow
you to declare the resources as virtual, then simply realize them if
they're tagged with the tag you care about. In addition, you'll
receive a bunch of additional features "for free" like the
relationship graph, meta-parameters, reporting, etc...
For example:
class apache {
@host { "zaphod": ip => "1.2.3.4" }
}
# Realize host entries tagged with "apache"
Host <| tag == "apache" |>
