I'm afraid you can't do that. (Boring reason why: the nodename is set as 
the process starts up, before we read the config file.)

That makes sense. In future we might move to preprocessing the config 
file somehow so that nodename can be set that way.

Probably your best bet is to write a script to start nodes in the way 
you want.
