One way that springs to mind is to have an /etc/hostname directory and
copy the hostname.* file there with the purge option set. Then use "links"
and "files" to maintain symlinks:

===
control:
   actionsequence = ( copy links files )

copy:
   <cfengine_root>/network  dest=/etc/hostname
      r=1
      include=hostname.*
      purge=true
      server=<server_name>

links:
   /etc +> /etc/hostname

files:
   /etc include=hostname.* recurse=1 links=tidy act=fixall

===
  
Nice and neat. =)
