Probably easier than you thought!

  (host-name "lapdog.tobias.gr")
  ;; This creates a file /gnu/store/…-hosts and links it as 
  /etc/hosts.
  (hosts-file (plain-file "hosts "\
127.0.0.1 lapdog.tobias.gr localhost
::1       lapdog.tobias.gr localhost
"))

Doing it in Scheme also allows one to factor out some of that ugly 
repetition, if I'd bother.

Kind regards,

T G-R
