RE: {bb} Description line / alternate name for a host?

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT@nibco.com>]

With bbgen -- like this:
10.8.224.25     colorado # ftp smtp telnet ssh COMMENT:"SAP DB Server"

looks like this: 
colorado (SAP DB Server) <all the dots in the world here>

NIBCO's tag line is "The World-Wide Choice in Flow Control", so I've
used rivers for host names (management gagged when I proposed 'yangtze'
for one), dams for SAN-switches, and large lakes for disk subsystems.
(Yeah, I got kinda carried away . . . )

Subject: {bb} Description line / alternate name for a host?

Is it possible (maybe with BBGEN) to put an alternate name for a host on
the 
BBDISPLAY page, or maybe a mouse-over with a description?  My manager  
doesn't think my barnyard inspired hostnames (baa, oink, honk, etc) are 
descriptive enough (oh come on!!!) but I would rather not change all my
DNS 
records!  By the way I am using DNS for conn test, so BB really does
need to 
know the real hostnames.

Thanks for any ideas,
Misty
