Description of problem:

When using ipmidetectd it is sometimes helpful to have the IPMI interface
aliased to the host it manages.  This lets folks focus in on hostname they are
addressing for some of the mass commands.

For example, if `wopr1` is managed via `pwopr1`, it would be nice if I could
alias `wopr1` under ipmidetectd to `pwopr1`.

There may be some benefits here along side dual stack systems (IPv4 and IPv6)
as well.
