I can only say what we use here, at MHSC. One group I haven't seen here yet are birds, crossed with type of use and sub-domain. Condors are always main development machines, Ravens are data servers, falcons are support/noc hosts, hawks are intranet *DCs, peregrin's are management machines, owls are QA servers and source repositories, etc. All workstations are DHCP'd so names need not be man-readable and follow conventions like wksta1.dhcp.mhsc.com, with SMB names that are also the uuid names of their assigned user. -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of DeepBlue Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2000 11:05 AM To: 'nanog@merit.edu' Subject: SERVER NAMES This is a little off of the normal lines of the list. But I am at a loss as to what naming convention I should use with my new set of servers. I have already used Southpark, Jet sons,and Warner brothers cartoons. Does any one have any good suggestions other than the Super Friends? I apologize ahead of time if this email seems useless to some of you.. but humor me please. James james@iceblue.net
