I wanted to try this out, I created a new mirror host with a dynamic
DNS hostname and when I try to add the same name as a "Site-local
Netblock" it returns with "Error: entity already exists".

It looks like the name of the mirror host and the DNS entry in the
netblocks share the same db space. Is this an error on my side
(e.g. should I name the host something nonexisting to not collide with
the host data in the netblock field)?

Thanks!
