Hmm - brain shorthand...  How about:

Check the proposed pool source host XML definition against existing sheepdog
pools to ensure the incoming definition doesn't use the same source host XML
definition as an existing pool.

Hmm.. yes 'port' is something I could add to virStoragePoolSourceMatchSingleHost
and it's also extendable to iSCSI... doesn't make sense for NETFS, but would
also be usable for gluster

I'll squeeze in a patch in order to handle.

Yep... That's where we're trying to get, but it takes a bit to get there!
For example, I use "192.168.122.1' for my '<host name='...'/> string; however,
if I add to /etc/hosts:

    192.168.122.1 test1

and then use 'test1' in a different definition - the new code will fail to
match, but they are essentially the same thing...  There's a bz for that
which I'm working to fix, but was trying to avoid a 20 patch series to do
so...  Gotta start somewhere.

BTW: It gets worse once IPv6 is added into the mix.
