I had considered adding that as a solution - but if he's just testing
this idea for a larger installation then it quickly becomes
impractical. If you're going to go to the trouble of adding all that
information on a per host basis you might as well just set them up
manually. :/
If there's really a practical reason (And I'm sure that there is) to do
that I'd love to hear about it.
