Someone else will have to speak to the status of any DNSaaS available in 
OpenStack or your cloud provider.

In the realm of stone knives and bear skins, you could create your 
instances with explicitly assigned private IPs (I'm ass-u-me-ing those 
are private IPs).  If you were consistent about creating your instances 
with explicitly selected private IPs, you could create a static 
/etc/hosts file to place on all your instances to map from hostname to 
IP.  Then you would be able to use names to access them.
