As an alternative to Matt's solution, you can also use private networks your Vagrantfile.

If you add a line such as:

config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.42.10"

Vagrant will add a second adapter to the virtual machine and hook it up to host-only adapter on that subnet.

This way you can then let database.yml simply point to 192.168.42.1 all the time (in this example).
