What kinds of naming conventions do everyone follow when building new servers?
I once had a VMWare server named "Legion." And our HMS Odyssey servers used to be "Scylla" and "Charybdis" -- you get the idea. These had more logical CNAME entries where applicable, of course. At home, the servers are named for Transcendentalists, 'cause the LOTR characters were getting trite. -- Best regards -- Cal Frye, Network Administrator, Oberlin College Mudd Library, x.56930 -- CIT will NEVER ask you for your password! www.calfrye.com, www.oberlin.edu/cit/ "Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education." -- Rev.
