Darren's reply to specific issue:

> According to your email, the serverID is just the string
> given to the server group,

shows a misconception of the way the server IDs were *intended*: namely, 
they were not just another name for a server group (and I'm not faulting 
Darren for that, I apparently didn't express this clearly enough).

but this got me thinking: is there a need for the "base" of the server ID 
to be distinct from the server group (name)?
In other words: would you be prepared to use different servergroups and 
rules to be able to use meaningful names for your back end servers?
