That is exactly what I am trying to avoid. One of the servers has 1400 sites
on it, and I really don't want 1400 devfs mounts. If the only way to do this
now is by having so many devfs mounts I am better off not upgrading, and it
is very arugable that FreeBSD has lost some functionality by forcing such a
scheme.

Really it's not hard, you just specify the devices you want with a

It's not how hard it is, it's how untidy it is.
