Our network group does not appreciate udp multicast.  Therefore, I need 
to go unicast.  I want to install gmond on 500 linux boxes and  have 
/etc/gmond.conf be a symlink to an nfs mounted central file.    In order 
for unicast to work I have to set:

udp_send_channel {
  host = hostname-of-the-node
  port = 8649
}

such that gmond will send itself metric data.  When I set 
host=localhost, the web gui shows 'localhost' as the host name.  No 
surprise here.  I want to avoid having to hand edit  500 local copies of 
gmond.conf.  It would be much better for gmond to use the hosts name has 
hostname.  Does anyone have a trick to use?
