aliased server entries
Is there a way to have two entries point to the same physical port?

At my current employer, a lot of servers and network gear are physically
installed in their permanent location, including console access, before
their name (and at times, purpose) are established.

It would be nice to ease the transition for the post-install audit
(which includes cleaning up the conserver.cf).

Sort of. You can include an "aliases" entry in an entry which gives it
an additional name.

console v210-0 { aliases acheron; include alom; host acheron-sc; port
1; }

That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Thanks.
