I have a system that takes a database of IP addresses, hostnames and MAC addresses and builds:
1. Your DNS configuration files.
2. Your DHCP configuration files.
3. Your DNS zones for your external DNS servers (i.e. hides hosts that you don't want to expose)

It works great. Really great. Good enough to submit to the LISA 2004 conference.

However, I don't have a good name for it. I was trying to find a TMBG or Babylon5 reference to name it after, but there's no cheese down that hole.

Suggestions?

Well, if you want to go with the religious idea and the B5 idea, why not call it Crusade!

I'll just sit back and wait for Josh to come over and kill me.

Nah. It'd orphan Bear.

I will, however, get even.

The B5 reference could have something to do with the fact that a host is The One that is three. (dns, ip, and MAC)

Then why not "Entil'Zha"?

Define Entil'Zha.

I can't recall that B5 reference.

The Minbari word for the leader of the Rangers (Anla'Shok). True, in the continuity we've seen there're five of them (Lenonn, Sinclair, Delenn, Sheridan, and Ivanova), not three, but that gives Tom room for extension.

Incidentally, I believe it's first used in "Grey 17 Is Missing" though it may have been used back in "The Parliament of Dreams" too (I didn't go back and check the DVDs).
