I am a huge fan of norther mythology and therefore love this suggestion. But one needs to consider that a trojan horse has been called Bifröst too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifrost_(trojan_horse) Other spellings are Bilröst, Beberast and Ásbrú. What comes to mind is the Ase Heimdall is protecting this bridge. Probably Apache Heimdall would make another good one.
