Not transparently.  libwrap is a collection of functions that, among
other things, lets you parse hosts.* entries.  You still need to call
those functions though, it doesn't do any LD_PRELOAD magic or anything
(which probably wouldn't work anyway - node.js often makes system
calls directly instead of going through the libc wrappers.)
