[Alex McWhirter]

I had been toying around with a lot of different settings, it's possible I just messed something up in the process. Let me try again with a fresh zone.

For example, instead of “web0” i would like to name them “2049_web0” and “2050_web0”. The problem is that this set’s the hostname to “XXXX_web0”. Is there a way to change the hostname to be something different than the zone name?
