FWIW, when naming machines in a subdomain (e.g. for .acc.umu.se) it's quite common to first decide on a "theme" and then pick names from that theme. E.g. a computer lab's nodes may all have names of dinosaurs, or names of alcoholic drinks, etc... Searching for chuangtzu and laotzu suggests these are names of great figures of Taoism, so it seems very kosher to me. Stefan
