...that, and I would avoid "reserved" words. Not only for FW1, but for the OS you're running on. My firewall used to be called "gateway" in DNS (hey, I wasn't working here then!). According to a SUN doc, sometimes that can cause problems -- and it will be impossible to find, since you wouldn't think the hostname would have that impact. Don't know if it's true -- just FYI.
