Yup.

You could define a virtual server (say, "teleport") and use the name of this virtual server instead of the full select method. I think 0.45 should automatically use the virtual server name instead of the select method when that is possible. > since there are relatively few different methods, it would be > better to have an external representation more like this: > > ( (method-0 group-0-0 group-1-0 ...) > (method-1 group-1-0 group-1-1 ...) > ... ) Keeping several lists that carry parts of the complete information updated is a major pain. -- "Yes.
