Nesting of aliases

[peterdh44]

Is it possible to nest IP addresses?  I would like to set up something like:

Name=Value
Home_IP=peter_IP, dan_IP
Inbound_IP=peter_IP,dan_IP
dan_IP=1.1.1.1
peter_IP=2.2.2.2

This way I can change a home IP address only once and not in multiple places.

It seems like this can be done with Ports but not hosts.

Not currently but it is something we are looking to do at some point in 2.0.

Is it my imagination or does it work with ports?

I don't get an error when I nest ports:

Name          Values                                        Description
ports_Zix  389, ports_HTTP, ports_mail    Ports used by ZixMail

Just wondering.

Thanks,

Peter

ps. It would definitely be worth having in 2.0 - it simplifies administration quite a bit.

I take back my previous post - it allows you create the rule but is doesn't load the rules.
