As an example, I went with Optimus-Prime and Megatron for a pair of
servers in the basement, just because ... if I ever get that storage
array I've been half-eyeing, it's gonna be "Holocron".
If you (bolakim53) feel like reading up on it, you can look at RFC7766
(March 2016), as well as the RFCs it updates (1035,1123).
Additionally, there is RFC1178 which is somewhat of a "guide" if you
will.
