Comment (by anarcat):

 awesome. so we're at step 6:

  6. create a new YAML variable that gives us a IP range -> hoster mapping
  7. create a function that looks through those to guess the hoster for a
 given IP address (probably just fixing `whohosts`?)
  8. use that function to create a fact (through a template, but with a
 variable defined in the base class) that defines the $hoster variable that
 hiera will use to load the right YAML (DONE, right?)
  9. remove hoster.yaml
