### Description
I need a colima machine to have its own IP so I can reach exposed ports from the host. I am using `--network-address` for that.
I want to map this IP to a custom domain name. I can easily do that by adding an entry to `/etc/hosts` on my host machine. I wrote a small script to automatically detect the IP addres used by colima and update `/etc/hosts` as needed (using `colima status --json | jq -r .ip_address` and comparing with the output of `dscacheutil`). So far so good.
Now, I also need this custom domain name to be resolvable to the same IP within docker containers on the colima machine, and this is where I'm a little frustrated.
The networking stack inside the colima VM does not seem to pick up the change to `/etc/hosts` on the macOS host. I can make edits to `/etc/hosts` on the VM but those are not picked up by docker containers.
I very much do not want to have to manually pass extra host entries to every container I start, and have to update those if the IP ever changed upon a VM restart.
As far as I can tell, the only way to achieve my goal is to follow this sequence:
```
colima start --network-address
ip=$(colima status --json | jq -r .ip_address)
colima stop
colima start --dns-host "my.custom.domain=$ip"
```
and hope the IP of the machine will not change on restart (is that a safe assumption? I have no idea...)
In general, I would like to have a way to update DNS config without stopping the machine. Ideally, it would be nice if the internal resolver for the bridge interface honored the hosts' `/etc/hosts` by default.
As a special case, for a short-term workaround, I would be okay if the auto-assigned machine IP was resolved to a fixed domain by the internal DNS, so I can easily alias my custom name to that immediately when first creating the machine.
