Bug Description

Hi,

I think the title says it all. If I click "add node" in the web interface, I'm presented with a dropdown list of clusters. The choices here are the cluster DNS zones, so if several clusters have the same zone (which can totally happen if MAAS doesn't manage your DNS/DHCP, since the DNS zone setting is not used then), the list is very confusing.

Why not simply display the cluster names ? Or a combination of cluster name + DNS zone ?

Thanks
