Bug Description
When creating more than one instance in the scope of a single API call, Nova should automatically do something to make sure that the host names are unique. Not doing so effectively makes the min/max options useless for anyone who wants to add their VMs into a DNS domain.
When creating only instance its possible that the user wants to duplicate a name (they might be going on different networks and domains), but in the multiple instance case where all other parameters are identical its hard to see any advantage to having all instances start with the same hostname.
Ideally the suffix would be configurable in some way by the user, but that would require an API change or extension, rasing this to the status of a blueprint.

This is true in the case where an instance with that name exists already as well, right?
