<hostname> ::= <user type>-<three letter OS acronym><three digit number>
<user type> ::= a | l | r | p
<three letter OS acronym> ::= lnx | hpx | win | mac
<three digit number> ::= 000-999
Everything's pretty self explanatory except the <user type>
a => administrative hosts
l => general usage lab machines
r => research machines purchased explicitly for or converted to research purposes
p => professional machines (faculty/staff)
--LAB MACHINES--
In order to declare what lab the 'l-' machines are in, we'll use the following convention...
l-< three letter OS acronym>[0-99] => Lab B5
l-< three letter OS acronym>[100-199] => Lab 301
l-< three letter OS acronym>[200-299] => Lab 346
--PROFESSIONAL AND RESEARCH MACHINES--
In order to eliminate cross-subdomain nodename conflicts, we'll use the following convention...
[p,r]-< three letter OS acronym>[0-199] => .math.uiowa.edu
[p,r]-< three letter OS acronym>[200-399] => .cs.uiowa.edu
[p,r]-< three letter OS acronym>[400-599] => .stat.uiowa.edu
EXAMPLES
--------
l-lnx005 (a lab machine in B5)
l-win250 (a windows lab machine in room 346 SH)
r-win004 (a MATH grad students windows research machine)
p-win008 (a MATH administrative assistant's machine)
p-lnx002 (a MATH faculty member's desktop machine)
