Getting LPQ to work against the F5 name is sadly incredibly complicated.
Hell, getting all the servers to sit behind the F5 and advertise as though
it was a cluster is sadly complicated. I don't see that working any time
soon since CUPS is not easily clustered.
In the long term, it's probably better to keep wrapping lpq, lpc, and lprm
(when not your own job) and have them directly go to the server listed in
Hesiod. I know it's not a great answer, but getting all the systems
behind a common name for submitting jobs I'll still call progress.
