Description:
In some situations it is not possible to detect the IP address that a slave uses to connect to it's master, from the agents installed upon the slave and master servers - such as if the slave uses a NAT routed IP address to connect to the master. 

In these cases, it would be nice to be able to add an IP address associated with a server (such as the master), so that replication topology discovery can complete successfully. 

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Implement a UI action (in 'manage servers'?) that allows you to add an IP address to associate with a given server. This would add values to inv_nic and dc_varchar for the agent such as a dummy network interface that can be picked up when performing replication topology discovery.
