any macro for viewing host parent?

[diego.roccia at gmail.com]

Isn't it $_HOSTPARENT_HOST$ ?
btw, in order to avoid the double declaration (and human errors) you
could add in generic-host (ot whatever template you define)

define generic-host {
   ...
   parents             $_HOSTPARENT_HOST$
   }

and in the real host definition you will define only the custom macro.
Haven't tried it, but it should work
