I don't understand the request. Isn't this function already here? I do 
this now with tags I've introduced into the hosts.cfg files for outside 
reference or ext scripts.

If you append the following to the end of a host line:
   configdbid:12345
don't you get exactly the behavior you seek? (Provided configdbid is not 
defined in protocols.cfg)
