So just for clarification, is this how I set it up:

create new entries for your VMs with unique MACs and IP addresses
edit /etc/hosts - add entries for you IP addresses and your new hosts - make 
sure the FQDN is the first name e.g. 192.168.122.2 myhost.mydomain.com myhost

If there is anything simpler or something that I missed just let me know.

Thanks.

It does work.  Perhaps it is in violation of some spec somewhere 
(link?), but using /etc/hosts or even NIS host maps will work.  DNS is 
not a requirement to get it to work.
