Yeah, the way we have things now, we have a very few database servers
and all our databases are on there. We then cross sync them and back
them all up. 

In this case we might look at a seperate database host as this is a
pretty stand alone item that doesn't need a bunch of resources.

Cool. So, that would run in koji, and add/connect to the db to add
buildids, as builds occur, right?

Well, unaffected by other services. Ie, it could keep running if other
things are down, or have downtime scheduled unrelated to other
services. I guess if it's using our proxy setup, it would need to be
tied to them.

ok, sounds good. Shall we look at next steps here? 
Or should we wait for the koji plugin to have everything in a row?
