[plug] OT - Machine naming schemes

[Leon Kyneur]

aloha,

some bright spark at my workplace decided using names of xmen would be cool.

business has been good and we've added lots of servers in the last 12
months.. so as you can imagine we're running out of names and will
probably have to start a numbering scheme 'xavier01, xavier02' etc..
or rename :-( - so scalability may be something you want to consider.


cheers,

Leon
