Let me make this more precise:
input is a list of IPs, privat networks and hostnames.

single config file describes the connection of one host with all others.

I found exacty one *.m4 file in the source.
it was 54 Bytes long. (c:
I did not find so many m4 files in the /usr/lib/diskless-image/template
DId I get something wrong? what did you mean?
