a couple of reasons :-)
1) krb5 makes resolver calls that can't be answered via /etc/hosts,
such as SRV record lookups
2) moving to relying on chroot in the build farm would be a disaster,
and would lose much of the advantages of the build farm
I also don't like the public server idea. I think the socketwrappper
approach or magic env variables are both better approaches.
