So, since the "ACPI wakeup" actually just runs a script, have that 
script--on a real master backend with real hardware that can actually do 
the job--send a message to some underpowered, always-on hardware (the 
PogoPlug) and have it wake-on-lan the master backend when it's time for 
the next recording.

You could also set up the web server to accept a request that triggers 
the wake-on-lan so you can get to your MythWeb.
