As for ESX 5.5 support, I have that working right now in production in our VCL 
instance. I had to backport the support for vDistributed Switches and a few 
other small things, but otherwise it works great.

And strictly speaking, it isn't necessary to populate /etc/hosts with the 
private addresses (for the 2.3.x release series), but if you don't you still 
need to have dhcpd set up with those hostnames and /etc/resolv.conf set up to 
resolve those shortnames properly. Pulling that data from the database will be 
a great new feature.
