  See the distribution directory, not the install directory.  I haven't
had a chance to update the Makefiles yet.

  Yes.  It's probably not much more code to do sub-sections, but I want
to be sure it's done right.

  I think the problem is you're still using hostname in home_servers..
Don't.  It doesn't work, and it won't work until I find some time to fix it.

  Sure.  The main problem is that the configuration variables get
expanded before the modules are loaded.  Doing DNS lookups via another
hook is therefore hard.  Useful as heck, but hard.
