It would be nice to have CNAME entries for nodes that map to hosts, so you don't have to know the host to be able to SSH into the console without logging into LPM to find the host. Something like:

Code:
$ host fo0bar.console.linode.com
fo0bar.console.linode.com is an alias for fremont138.linode.com.
fremont138.linode.com has address 74.207.255.61
$ ssh fo0bar@fo0bar.console.linode.com
The authenticity of host 'fo0bar.console.linode.com (74.207.255.61)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 56:4a:23:d4:99:49:20:fe:55:e8:2e:5f:c1:a5:c1:4d.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'fo0bar.console.linode.com,74.207.255.61' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

AFAICT the linode hosts are all A records, so you could just your create your own CNAME to point at the linode host.

Code:
fo0bar.yourdomain.com.    CNAME   fremont138.linode.com.

Or something like that?
