I currently reference the
$MY_EXT_IP
variable repeatedly through my params file.
e.g.,
MY_SERVER_1_IP=$MY_EXT_IP
MY_SERVER_2_IP=$MY_EXT_IP
which make my rules quite readable for me, using "$MY_SERVER_1_IP" &
"$MY_SERVER_2_IP",
and it's easily changed in one place if I decide to move a server etc.
Sounds like &/% won't do the trick for me, and I should think some more about
what's most flexible for me, perhaps refererring back to Simon's
