Not picking on you in particular, but isn't one of the greatest advantages
to having DNS to offer *meaningful* names to machines(assuming anything
other than a home network?)
It's nice to be able to go in to a company and see machines named "www1,
www2, mx1, mx2" etc. which offer some indication as to their purpose
rather than "maverick, foozlebutt, blarg", etc. which offers no such
indication. I know it isn't as fun, but it certainly seems to be much more
useful (IMO of course...)
