Cobbler and zeroconf

I'm thinking about adding Avahi (zeroconf) support to Cobbler, such that 
koan can optionally auto-discover cobbler servers if they do not specify 
a --server parameter.   Zeroconf support would need to be added in such 
a way that cobbler still worked on systems where Avahi wasn't easily 
installable -- both cobbler-side and koan-side.

This could also, in the future, allow other software to discover the 
locations of cobbler servers that can be used as an install base.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or other use cases for discovery?
