Out at UP EEE some more pragmatic heads used a more "traditional"
method of giving DNS names to our systems (I believe it was Rowel
Atienza who came up with them, is that right, sir?), and hence we had
a whole lab full of Solaris boxes with names like
gollum.eee.upd.edu.ph, radagast.eee.upd.edu.ph, and the late and much
lamented Sun SS20 sauron.eee.upd.edu.ph which was destroyed in a fire
off at the UP PABX back in 1996. Most of these really old machines
still exist and are in active service as CAD workstations for Prof.
Louie Alarcon's microelectronics and VHDL classes...
