Using subprofiles and per_profile snippets may also work for you if you
have a set of them that are quasi-indentical ...
(i..e webservers and webservers-pittsburgh and webservers-winston-salem
and dbservers and dbservers-san-diego...)
I'm failing to see how you couldn't replace 50 snippets (one per host)
with 1 cheetah template and some builtin hostname logic like the
timezone example I posted showed.
