28 === Generated hosts ===

    29 The hosts file format supports something similar to bind9's $GENERATE directive for hosts:

    30 

    31     [asdf{1-3}]

    32         ip  = 10.100.100.$

    33 

    34     $ bin/pvl.hosts-dns --forward-zone=asdf etc/hosts/asdf 

    35     asdf1@asdf                        A     10.100.100.1

    36     asdf2@asdf                        A     10.100.100.2

    37     asdf3@asdf                        A     10.100.100.3

    38 

    39 Note that the generate directives are interpreted and compiled directly by pvl.hosts.

    41 Most of the $GENERATE options should be supported, with a little clever hackery:

    42 

    43     [asdf{1-5/2}{0,2}]

    44        ip  = 10.100.100.$${10}

    45 

    46     $ bin/pvl.hosts-dns --forward-zone=asdf2 etc/hosts/asdf2

    47     asdf01@asdf2                      A     10.100.100.11

    48     asdf03@asdf2                      A     10.100.100.13

    49     asdf05@asdf2                      A     10.100.100.15
