I stumbled across this trivial little fact today. It appears the techies at EarthLink have a sense of humour, as their two nameservers are named after The Simpsons show-within-a-show characters Itchy and Scratchy - take a look.

Personally I like the human touch better than a numerical or alphabetical system, it gives them character. It also reminded me that all my University department’s servers were named after Greek mythological figures (there’s a big enough list for them to choose from!). If you know of any other interesting/comical server naming conventions please post a comment.
