My thinking, because you aske for feedback :-):
I guess you have to first wake up the mysql server (that's what 
mythfrontend contacts first, right?) and then the mythbackend server, 
basically everything you want to contact. The problem is that it takes 
very long (up to 1-2 minutes for the server to start), so I guess you 
should add a few preferences which servers can and should be woken up at 
all and maybe even how (an external program - maybe I have some freaky 
home-brewn system or an APC or whatever that can switch the power on and 
off). You then first try to contact them, and if that fails, you try to 
wake them up. I guess you'd need UI feedback for that, given how long it 
takes.
