"Mozilla" was the original project code name for NetscapeNavigator and, 
according to some of the documentation, the
correct pronunciation of "Netscape".
See http://vdict.com/Mozilla,6,0,0.html

So I guess we can label is Xymon and pronounce it "hobbit" !! :-)

BTW I actually remember seeing  this ! Believe it was on the intro page 
or download page
