Sorry, I'm not exactly clear what you are asking for here. I'm probably
missing some vital point. At present you have two choices for the way
you use lookups in a list:
1. Have the lookup return a list, which is then searched. The syntax is:
hosts = ${lookup mysql ..... }
2. Use the lookup as a way of indexing into a list of permitted hosts/
domains/whatever. The syntax ix:
hosts = mysql;...
You can even use both of these in the same item:
hosts = mysql;... : ${lookup mysql ....}
Clearly, you are asking for a third facility, but I'm not sure what it
is. Please point out to me what I am missing here!
