Re: server naming convention advice

How about "fruit"? Then the clusters could be names things like "apple," orange," grape," etc. and the nodes in the clusters could be "seeds," "pit," "pulp," "peel," etc. Lol.

Or maybe you could choose a building or house name, and then the clusters could be different rooms and the nodes pieces of furniture within them.

Or "forest," with various "trees," each having different "leaves," "needles," "cones," "sap"...?

It's kind of fun to think of possibilities starting with a theme.

When I was at Bell Atalantic, I named our development lab's UNIX systems after demons. Ultimately had to change all their names because someone got "offended".
