It wouldn't be terribly hard to hack up your proposal using a small
python script (using avahi) that runs just before the frontend starts
and populates mysql.txt.  Likewise a python script on the server or
just a .service file could broadcast the data.

I'm still hoping we can stop using mysql directly some day soon.
DNS-SD would still be a good thing in that case, of course.
