Subject: Adding more data at a later time


I have a client server product. The client is packaged as an rpm. The
client, upon installation , needs to know the servers ip and port number
to connect to.Till now, we got this from the user interactively in %post
. Is there a way by which this information can be added to the rpm in
the field without recreating the rpm ? 
I tried this: 

Have a placeholder of the ip and port in the %post, say
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx, and do a binary find replace on the rpm later  to
add the required info. 
This of course messes up the digest verification, but nevertheless, it
works with --nodigest. 
Is there a better way ? 
Or maybe , after adding the info, can the digest be recomputed ? 
Regards
