First of all, i missed my powernap for some irc (i know that's stupid, but why make life easier?), so excuse my bad language.
I guess you have some kind of inventory of all the servers (hostname, IP, daemons, uniqueid, guarantee and all other information needed).
Name them after OS and uniqueid, eg. SUN0234.
When some host goes down or need maintaince, it's easy to lookup what the hostname and IP are in the database (with ARS you can create nice case of them too). It's easy for the tech's to find out witch OS it is (an UNIX tech does NOT want to fix an NT and viceversa). Right tech on right server, you can also throw in some letters for what kind of server it is, eg. (capital for easier reading) SunWB233.
This idea maybe needs some adjustment, but i hope everyone gets the deal.
