Thread-topic:	feature request - MAC address calculation algorithm

I have a couple of physical servers that each have a few domains on
them. I'd love to be able to calculate a MAC address for a new domain
like:

FE:FD:XX:YY:ZZ:ZZ

Where:

XX = Physical machine number (assigned in main config file)
YY = Interface number (not sure how this would be calculated)
ZZZZ = domain ID

This would ensure that the MAC address is unique across all machines in
a cluster.

I'm guessing I should be able to do something like that in the python
script file... can anyone offer me any hints?

Thanks

James
