It has come to my understanding that VAC only bans for the engine that
the cheat ran under when it very clearly states that it bans from all

would be any better than at the source itself (which will always be up
to date and proper), a plugin would just have too look for what the
value of vacBanned is.
But sure, if they periodically released a database with a plugin
I don't think valve would be too hot on a server plugin that queries the
community pages. (Especially with the number of servers there are :p)

database for two weeks or something before checking it again to
decrease the load even more by caching the legitimate players.
