Sean, CloudStack let's you create instances with the same name, even in the same account, as long as they are on different networks.
I note you want to prevent this across two different zones, but as Zones are effectively autonomous, only sharing the management layer, I'm sure this will be impossible.

I have two zones in one region both zones have the same "Network Domain" setting of: zone1.local. I thought that this would be enough to stop instances with the same name being created in both zones, but it doesn't seem to be working. Has anyone successfully used the Network Domain settings at the network or zone level to prevent duplicate instance names?
