Hi all,

I have a handful of machines that have a URL to hit for remote access.  I tho=
ught it would be
great if I could embed the URL in the host column.  So like any good hobbit, =
I check the mailing
list first, but everything I found mentioned bb-notes and --docurl.  I didn't=
 want hyperlinks for
every host, just the few I mentioned earlier.  While this is not the pretties=
t of solutions, it works
for me and wanted to share with the community.

I use a carefully crafted COMMENT tag in the bb-hosts file like:
10.10.10.10  HOST01-RA01        # testip https://10.10.10.10 COMMENT:"<AHREF=
=3Dhttps://10.10.10.10/ target=3D_new>URL</A>"

Sincerely
