Naming themes are fine in test labs, because devices have a different

Makes it easy to AXFR and see which devices are in a pop.
We throw a bit of Perl at our device configs to create RR's for

With many changes going on this year in our network, I figured it's a
good time to revisit our naming conventions used in our networks.
