OOB Devices Targetting?

Hi

Curious as to what approaches people use to target Out of Band management cards for doing things like http queries and name association. Chef agent being Host OS based, and out of band cards cannot have the required files installed to target.

Aside from the obvious ones where for example, the hostname is hostname and the out of band card is an appended character string e.g. hostname-oob.your.domain, what other options are people using? Data bag to setup a mapping? Bounce out to a look up list somewhere else?

Thanks!
