Surely what this chap wants is a simple preloadable
library which can override gethostname calls and
return a result of <whatever the hell you want here>?
Then all you need is a simple entry in your hosts
(or DNS) so that lookups for that name also return
the current machine's address - this should work?

Does anyone have such a module handy or does one
need knocking up - I figure there must be a toolkit
somewhere with a few standard ones like this and
overriding date/time functions.
