There's no reason why you couldn't have multiple names pointing to the same address.
Hope I'm not hijacking, but wouldn't you just use CNAME's? Do we really have to alter configs on a per app basis? Maybe the 127 addresses are special? L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
