Hi,

Could I request that this trivial change be added at some stage please.
It introduces the ability to include a tag in hosts.cfg which has no
purpose other than provide an arbitary reference. eg

configdbid=12345

In my case '12345' would be the ID of a record in an asset database and
I can use this to construct a query that delivers useful support
information.  It could also be used the other way round and provide a
way to maintain hosts.cfg in a mysql db or some such.  Let me know what
you think.
Hmm ... hostnames are supposed to be a unique id for the servers in 
hosts.cfg - why can't you use that?


Regards,
Henrik
