Support networks that use type: "dhcp"

[TronPaul]

Setup:

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.define :thing1 do |box|
    box.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty64"
    box.vm.hostname = "thing1"
    box.vm.network :private_network, type: "dhcp"
    box.vm.provision :hosts
  end
end

What happens:

The hosts file added to the guests looks like

 thing1

What should happen:

The host file looks like

<DHCP-ADDRESS> thing1

where is the IP address assigned.

I went digging for if the IP of the guest vm could be grabbed from somewhere in vagrant, but I wasn't able to find where that might be. Until someone smarter than me figures out how to do that, I think the best solution is to ignore guest networks that are using DHCP to get their IP addresses for now.

Some clues here : devopsgroup-io/vagrant-hostmanager#86

Seems to work from ruby with VBoxManage guestproperty get #{vm.id} "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/1/V4/IP".split()[1]

DHCP isn't supported. I believe vagrant hosts plugin only supports private_network, and only when ip address is explicitly specified in the Vagrantfile. See vagrant-hosts/address.rb

This is correct. vagrant-hosts only pulls from private_network configuration. Added a note to the README that clarifies this and marking this issue as a feature request.
