that I think it is already possible to do this in an SMS context
1 provide a contact to Nag with a symbolic name, 'networks_on_call'
perhaps
2 have your SMS delivery mechanism (mail to SMS gateway) lookup the
contact names in a phone book
3 Have the 'phone book' facility recognise that should the contact name
be the symbolic name (of an oncall number), it should then consult a
second data source that contains the current individual name of the on-
call contact and then look that name in the phone book
In our case, the phone book is an LDAP accessible directory that's made
available as (apparently) a giant Perl hash of 'user_names' keys and
phone numbers through the Perl tie facility and Net::LDAP.
The on call identities are stored in the file system and modified with a
fill out form that invokes an scp or an ssh echo new_on_call_id >
oncall_file.txt.

I think this is easier to do than to say. It's something like a phone
book with one level of indirection (for oncall names).
Yours sincerely.
