Nice, I've used mountains (Denali, Everest, Olympus, etc) in the past to name systems. Used profanity for awhile to name machines, there's really quite a bit of it, and every language has it's own set, giving a large pool to choose from. Sadly, when outages occurred, it was somewhat difficult to determine which machines were down, and this was discarded. Andrew Greg Whynott wrote:

Being in the IDS business mostly involved with Snort, I've given my sensors "pig names" in the past. Wilbur, Arnold, Lechoncito.... On Mar 15, 2010, at 9:57 AM, Andrew D Kirch wrote:
