I've given up on network-wide naming schemes, at least at work. I tend 
to group hostnames by purchase date. One set of purchases ended up 
being fender, gibson, guild, and moog. Another set were smoke and 
mirrors.

For virtual machines, I'll use a superset for the dom0 and subset 
members for the domU's:

* forest: pine, ash, oak, maple
* mansion: butler, ghost, portrait, tapestry
* map: capital, legend, north
* cabana: blanket, chair, corona, lime
