Define different port ranges

[russellshackleford]

I'm using oscar-stack for multiple dev environments. If I run plain vagrant up, with the same roles/vms.yaml, I can rely on a consistent spinup order, which means I can rely on a consistent port mapping order and thus can set aliases and config in .ssh/config. This immediately breaks with more than one stack unless every stack is started up in the same order all the time. This hits a wall on system resources, however, if I have a lot of stacks, even if I can power down the unneeded ones after starting them all so that the last one has a predictable port. Obviously if I pass an incomplete list of hosts (or a list sorted differently than vms.yaml) this will also break, but something that allows a bare up to use ports X to Y would minimize the friction considerably.

or perhaps, putting the port mapping into a file so the same port could be attempted any time that host is later stopped/started? I don't need any sort of special ordering, just a consistent port for any given instance.

I figured out that I could define the port in config/vms.yaml instead of in config/roles.yaml. Not the most ideal, but does solve the problem.
