I've had some difficulties with hostsfile. Not that it's a bad approach, but 
managing /etc/hosts by configuring individual entries gets very confusing , 
very quickly, if you have old entries that are not in your current cookbooks. 
And the "fqdn" cookbooks is particularly problematic with it, mishandling a 
number of optional attributes and putting the FQDN on the same line as the 
standard loopback address.

The result is that I've written a complete /etc/hosts deployment cookbook, 
able to use roles or environment attributes for complete /etc/hosts 
deployment, and would welcome any testing and code review. It's at:
