For end-point hosts ("servers") I prefer terse topical names for
single-function machines ("Finance", "Purchasing") and some predictable
pattern that ties somehow to the organization for multipurpose machines
("Bluejay", "Parrot").
For network equipment at end points I prefer a string that starts with
the machine's function, ends it an interface identifier, with location
info in the middle. ("rtr-oma-hosp-3rd-peds", "rtr-oma-hosp-3rd-surg").
For network out in the middle I would do the same except expand the
location data a bit and change the I/F infor to a hardware descriptive.
