So - you'd setup an overlord client with a host-specification and then
you want to modify that specification on the fly for the run() method?
would it be easier/make more sense to just be able to modify the host
specification while the class exists?
ie:
fc = Client('myhost;list;of;doom')
fc.change_hosts('newspecification')
fc.run()
would that do what do what you want?
