This looks ok code-wise, but I'm curious as to what could be more useful than the Name tag?

okay i made the change for the string default, as far as "why did i do this?" it's because we used the ec2 "Name" a bit more freeform and have an ec2 tag "DNS" that represents the dns name i want servers to respond too . i was using some crazy powerdns + ec2tools nonsense . aws-name-server is more sane . took me exactly 20m to get it to do what i needed . :+1:

though right now i can't set an instances "Name" or "DNS" to anything w/ a dot ... so "server.group.domain" would be sweet . maybe i'll give it another 20m look

We could allow --tagname to take a dot-separated list of tagnames. If we then allow for multiple tagname arguments that would allow for very cool, easy flexibility.

--tagname "DNS.Group"

pull code ? or do you want me to give the --tagname a go ?
