Depending on the rate of server additions you might be
better off loading these at startup time or on a user
signal (e.g., $SIG{USR1} = \&reload_stuff_from_db).
Timestamping the database entry for the site might also
help, since you wouldn't have to re-load the entire thing
every time the site was hit.
