You are trying to confine the 'hostname' fact based on the value of
that same fact. I don't see how that could possibly work. Either it
will throw Facter into an infinite loop, or that version of the fact
will just never be chosen.
There is probably a better approach to your problem than redefining
the hostname fact. Not knowing what your actual problem is, I can
only speculate, but you might be better off creating and using a
"serialnumber" custom fact. You might also want to look into Puppet's
"certname" parameter.
