Hi Larry,
Well, it's something that we've discussed many times. It could be done fairly straight forwardly on the server. One of the reasons people use CDEV - is for the name aliasing. XAL also provides a name alias. Of course, both of these are on the server side. We've discussed this as a function of the name server as well. I am not sure if any of the name server currently support the feature.
In short - I agree that it's a good idea. We need to get it into one of the releases.
Bob
