Sounds reasonable. 

I was thinking about how to add this, and didn't get a good solution so I made the fields hidden. Making them visible was very ugly to look at.

So making the current "Source" and "Destination" fields tree parents, and put the host fields into it seems to be a good idea. 

I will see what I can do, probably this evening ...
