Description

The address and port vars are currently limited to specific uses. E.g. port vars can be in rules and in the vxlan config.

Maybe it would make sense to take a much simpler approach. Treat the vars more like macros in C, where the cpp simply replaces the macros with their value before the compiler compiles it.

I 100% agree. So just a simpler vars section maybe?

vars:
  FILE_DATA_PORTS: "[$HTTP_PORTS,110,143]" 

(of course keeping support for the "groups" we already have).
