My management is looking into the pros and cons of having naming conventions for IP hosts. Like xysuna, xysunb, etc., where xy is a site id. This is just an example. I can think of quite a few reasons for not doing this (we currently have server groups with themes of some kind which seems to be the way a lot of companies and universities are handling this.) My question is can any one out there provide me with reasons for or against host naming conventions. I can think of several, but don't want to present my biases before receiving some ideas from you folks. Thanks a lot!
