You'll need a mapping for the server names anyway. If you have a large datacenter, I hope it's stored as configuration of your infrastructure as code tool, if it's small, you won't need to check it every time.
Anyway, is prod-web01 that server with an outdated web server that you keep because of that one system that couldn't migrate, the one with a Java server that runs those proprietary tools, the one with IIS that runs that FOSS code that the developer decided to write in C#, the one supporting your main applications or the one you insulated in a special network because it hosts a powerful API that you don't want to expose?
