Hi Everyone -  is there a way wherein we can update hosts file before or after we deploy a worker or web role on a cloud service?

I need to add a DNS record with directly accessing or remoting the cloud service vm instace.

Thanks

John

Managed to resolved this by doing it programatically.

using (StreamWriter w = File.AppendText(
                Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System),
                "drivers/etc/hosts")))
            {
                w.WriteLine("SOMEIP NAME");
            }

Thanks
