Hi Ethan,

thanks for your reply, I didn't expect an answer any more :)
I couldn't see need for recursion that time. To be honest, I can't see 
any need for the entire patch any more, since the hostname is not 
mandatory in 3.x any more - And I think this is the main purpose for 
functionality like that.

Maybe such a solution could make sense in combination with custom macros.

Thus it's up to you, but thanks again for your reply.

Matthias
