[erlang-questions] Runtime update of inetrc configuration

[Geoff Cant]

Well, you can follow the code that populates inet_db from resolv.conf
and friends at
http://github.com/mfoemmel/erlang-otp/blob/master/lib/kernel/src/inet_db.erl
and
http://github.com/mfoemmel/erlang-otp/blob/master/lib/kernel/src/inet_parse.erl

The inet_db module itself has functions to update nameservers, domain
search lists etc. inet_db:add_host({127,0,0,1}, "yourhostnamehere")
might do what you want.

It's all undocumented, so it wouldn't pay to write code using it unless
you want to pay the maintenance cost later.
