This polls a Cisco CSM for the status of vips.  The site policy support
here is a little strange and is encode in vipName in the perl file.

We remove the site toplevel (exmple.com or foolabs.com or what ever).  Then
we optionally remove a default subdomain (.admin or .net, or .sac), then we
look at the first part of the name for "$vip_$tag" or "$vip-$tag" in which
case we return "$tag/app-$vip.$dom".  Or we look for $tag-$vip or $tag_$vip
and return much the same thing.  Or we look for "$tag$digits" and return
"$tag/app-vip$digis".  Else we kinda look for $tagvip$vip and punt.

You can code a policy for your own site, or install DNS reverse records that
make this one work for you.
