[rancid] [patch] Multiple context support for ACE/CSS

[Olle Lundberg]

Hi,

We have developed a patch for rancid that adds support for multiple  
contexts on a Cisco ACE.
This has been asked for before[1], and i have implemented the syntax  
in the routers.db file according to the discussion regarding contextes  
in Cisco ASA [2].
Example:
foo3-ace.bar.net:css:up
foo3-ace.bar.net[baz]:css:up
foo3-ace.bar.net[quux]:css:up
foo3-ace.bar.net[corge]:css:up

This will create 4 separate files. The one without context sepecified  
will dump the default context on that IP. The other ones will dump  
both the default context and the context specified inside the  
brackets. It is also possible to specify multiple contexts inside the  
brackets:
foo3-ace.bar.net[baz,quux,corge]:css:up

This will create one (1) file containing the default context and the  
specified contexts.
