Hi,

we are using virtual hostnames which are often transferred from one machine to another. So database.server and web.server might be hosted today on machine A and tomorrow on machine B. One machine can have several virtual hosts, each of them related to a service. We want hobbit to present all common data (like ssh, conn) for all these hosts ($hostname and virtual hosts A and B) and we want the client to send data to the server using specific hostnames (e.g hostname xxx for external script A and hostname yyy for external script B).
How do I change the client's name before sending a message by an external script?
How can common data be presented for several hosts? I've seen the possibility to add "CLIENT:hostname" to bb-hosts. But I think that is not what we need. We don't want to change the hostname, but to present the same data send by a client by different names (more than one).

Thanks for your help!
kind regards
Rolf
