Somebody on this list has written code to store the servernames in a MySQL database and have James use the dynamic list so that there is no need to work inside the config.
I searched and couldn't find the actual email, but someone on here should remember? Maybe this person submitted it to James? Anyway I would actually like to take a look at that code as well if anyone knows where it can be found.
