This appears to be working well, when I start the server process I see it creates the HTTP Server agents listening on port 80 and the SSL server agents listening on port 443.  I have started the client process and this loads the configuration file without complaining about errors.

My understanding from http://www.web-polygraph.org/docs/reference/pgl/types.html#type:docs/reference/pgl/types/AddrMap is that multiple address maps should be able to be used.

Currently, this is a limitation of dns-cfg tool. Polygraph client
supports multiple address maps but the DNS configuration tool does not.

As a workaround, you may use dns-cfg multiple times use()ing different
address maps in PGL workload and merge output by hand. Note: Only BIND
configuration (i.e. dns-cfg console output) needs merging, individual
zone files (e.g. tst and tst.rev) do not need any changes.
