Usefulness of PDM

[cyee]

I had abandoned use of PDM v1 because it was unable to deal with aliases. Most PIX installations we deal with require aliases.

I recently got around to upgrading to PDM v2 after IOS upgrade to 6.2. It appears PDM v2 is also unable to deal with aliases.

Are there any plans to make such accomodation in future releases of the software. It is functionally unusable in its current state.

Unfortunately, alias command is still not supported with PDM 2.0

Below is list of unsupported commands in PDM 2.0

No roadmap for future support, but you can open a TAC case for further info and/or feature request.
