Hi Folks,

I'm trying to understand the difference between "display_name" and "hostname" 
in the instances table, and struggling a bit to track their use though the 
code.   It looks to me as if:

                display_name is always the name specified by the user

                hostname is a sanitized version of this (always converted to 
lowercase, etc)


Is that correct, and if so:


-          Is there anything which makes sure that the sanitized hostname is 
always unique for a particular customer (or are they meant to understand and 
anticipate the consequences of this sanitization)


-          How is the hostname set when creating more than one instance at the 
same time (I thought I'd remembered seeing something in the code sometime back 
to add the an integer to the hostname, but I can't seem to see anything in the 
current code that does this)



Thanks
Phil
