FQDN form proposal: $unique_ID.$location.$purpose.opensuse.org
I'm sorry, but I do not really see a reason for this at the moment - I'll explain my concerns below, but first start with some questions: * How many machines do you want to provide for openSUSE that it makes sense to think about such a scheme? * What exactly do you expect as benefit from this naming scheme? * Who will request/maintain all those DNS sub-domains or FQDN with a '.' in the name? I already have problems with the current cartoon naming scheme. It might be related to my age (Alzheimer is winking), but I do not really now why a host has to be named like a cartoon figure if the machine has just one single purpose/service. Especially, if in the end a "ssh $service.opensuse.org" has the same effect as "ssh $cartoon.opensuse.org" - because nobody cares about the correct firewall rules. So while I can live with that crazy name as DNS entry, I expect at least the PS1 and/or the console entry to point to the service of the machine instead of their cartoon name without any further information. I was already in a situation that I need to search through a console list to identify the host who is marked as red with its service. Luckily (or sadly, because in that case I would probably learn the names) I don't need to do this too often, because our services are very stable - but if I am already in emergency, I am not really happy to have a just list of cartoons in front of me - while I'm searching for a service. (...and yes: searching in an additional table which maps the cartoon name to it's service is also an additional job that I do not like).
