Great.  As Mickey suggests though, functioning DNS is really the way to do
this.

What I've described is a hack, which can be useful in various instances
where you need to customise the image _post_ boot-up.  We had a network
testbed where each machine needed extra network interfaces, a bunch of
static routes, hosts entries, firewall rules, etc.  It did that fairly
effectively.
