You are making a lot of implicit assumptions for that. Consider a
"server" consisting of multiple front end implementations all
connected to a DB back-end. Does that "server" has control over PSK
IDs? A server can also be replaced on an upgrade with a different
implementation, or a different version of the implementation, does
that also guarantee that the server still has control over the PSK
IDs? It looks to me like a hard problem to tackle except for few
straightforward cases.
