1. Split bb-hosts into "hobbit-tests" (test config) and "hobbit-display" (display structure, use names given is hobbit-tests). Keep bb-hosts as fallback... I think Henrik is working on this.

2. Let us "include subpage filename" to cut these files into smaller, more manageable pieces. I don't like my 500 line structureless config file. Checkout the include tag: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html

3. We would need two main VIEWS: 3a) infrastructure view: keep routers/switches on one page (&subpages), keep UPS'es on another page (the Power Page), keep servers on a third page and so on. 3b) business process view: group gateways, switches, UPSes, servers, printers by site or by business process Because of this we would like to have a separate hobbit-display. Writing EVERYTHING twice, the other half with noconn, is a nightmare. I get paid for this, but still... I don't know if this can help, but checkout the NK stuff on the same page: http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html
