Any advice on how to pull this off? Thanks.
sed 's/ /.contoso.com '
That works because we've explicity been told <ip address> <tab> <short hostname> <space> <short hostname alias> so the first space is a good place to switch.
More generally, if there's possibly multiple spaces or tabs in multiple places this might work:
sed 's/^([^ ]*[ ]*[^ ]*)([ ]*.*)$/\1.contoso.com\2/'
(where there's a space *and* a TAB inside each of the [ ] )
