Yeah. Some caching is even possible for stand alone services, they
could use memcached for example pretty easily directly.

A few more questions: 

- Is this packaged? Is it intended to be?

Normally we like things to be packaged up and available in EPEL before
deploying anything. This has a number of advantages: 

* Everyone knows where and can easily obtain the source. 
* Everyone knows where to report bugs
* We are sure it's free and acceptable license wise since it's
  available in EPEL, and any other projects that would want to use it
  could do so. 

And now of course I look:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752771

So, thats all good. ;) 

- Who all exactly should be in the sysadmin-darkserver group and is
  working on this? you and mether? any others?

I will go ahead and look at allocating you guys a dev machine to work
from. ;)
