Hi,

If I understand correctly, the new names are simply aliases that  
point to either Zedler or Yarrow.

For example, the following all refer to the same physical server:
* zedler
* sql
* sql-s2
* commonswiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
* enwiktionary-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org

As do these:
* yarrow
* sql-s1
* sql-s3
* enwiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org
* jawiki-p.db.ts.wikimedia.org

It's just a case of how we refer to them in our code. (IMHO I like  
the new database-specific aliases)

Cheers,

Tangotango
