I'd go with Apache Bifr=C3=B6st (complete with umlat). The Bifr=C3= =B6st is > a bridge in Norse mythos that connects Midgard (Earth) with Asgard > (realm of the gods). In our connotation it would connect the native > layer (Earth) with the web layer (realm of the gods). I am a huge fan of norther mythology and therefore love this suggestion. But one needs to consider that a trojan horse has been called Bifr=C3=B6st = too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifrost_(trojan_horse) Other spellings are Bilr=C3=B6st, Beberast and =C3=81sbr=C3=BA. What comes to mind is the Ase Heimdall is protecting this bridge. Probably Apache Heimdall would make another good one.
