+
+    [bar]
+        ip          = 127.0.0.2
+        alias       = test2
+
+    $ bin/pvl.hosts-forward --forward-zone alias.test etc/hosts/alias.test 
+    foo                               A     127.0.0.1
+    test1                             CNAME foo
+    bar                               A     127.0.0.2
