I do like the simplicity of [app name]_[protocol]_[object_type]. I guess maybe I can refine my question to what do people use for the [app name] portion of the name? Reason for me starting the discussion is that I am starting to look at the possibilities of using multiple pools within one application (VIP or vs) using ProxyPass to select from possibly many pools based on the URI in the request. A dns-like name for the pools works fine where there is a one-one relationship between the vs and the pool. A dns-like app name for a pool is not quite a good fit in the case where a pool from one app is used within another app or maybe there is a pool that is default to no virtual server and thus has no dns-like name. I suppose in this scenario anything meaningful can be used for the [app name] portion of the name. Is it common to use the dns-like name in most cases and then in these situations where it does not apply or is misleading to use an alternative for [app name]?
