I think it should be possible with little perl tweaking in site/config.pl, e.g. to do something like pc-(last 4 numbers of MAC here). But up to now we prefer the csv/mysql method, since several pc's need tweaking e.g. Full Name, what software is installed (aka batch is used) etc. So it's just easy with a web-interface for mysql to copy a pc config with new name and new mac, tweak it's settings if needed, and ready to go. Copying some lines in unattended.csv is also possible, but really a lot of work with lot's of pc's.
