Why not create an entry in /etc/hosts for hda during your install
process? Then even if the user is using DNS from their ISP or router
(both of which are very common) the name resolver will use /etc/hosts
first.

In fact, if the systems' hostname is 'hda' then the entry should
already be configured on most linux distributions.

Installing a DNS server just for a single local alias seems like
overkill, though maybe you've got other uses for it.
