I did some quick tests and it seemed that the plain-vanilla
configuration of both postgres and mysql would start all right in F15.
However, it's definitely possible to configure postgres in a way that
requires it to do DNS lookups at startup, and I verified that that will
fail in the current state of F15.  I'm less familiar with all of mysql's
options but I wouldn't be surprised if there's comparable issues there.

I'd be interested to know whether the OP was using a vanilla my.cnf or
something custom, and exactly what failure mode he saw.
