Cool .. how about the following behavior: when koan is started without
--server, it first tries to look up a host named 'cobbler' and uses that
as the cobblerd; if no such host exists, try to discover using avahi; if
that fails tell the user they are dumb and need to give na explicit
server with --server ?

please do not put any hard coded hostnames in the koan code base. two immediate problems crop to mind:

1) a host named cobbler already exists and does not run cobblerd
2) the system becomes coupled to a working DNS system
