Yes. Numbered approach, which I like because I can pack data in. So for instance: dbserver_01_n01. Which is the first node of the first db server. I have servers that are mostly used in read only and others which are write only. But their roles switch. We do all of the writing (not users), so it makes sense to split the namespacing this way.
