This doesn't seem like a terribly good idea, because such an entry would
capture *any* service name whatsoever. And, since we check service names
before other possibilities such as host/database names, the entry would
then proceed to capture every possible connection request.
I follow what you're trying to do, but it needs to be a more constrained
syntax. One possibility is to insist that the wildcard be only a part
of the name string, eg
[myservers-%]
host=%.domain.com
port=5433
user=admin
