Does this include all of their mirrors? If not, that query number probably
skyrockets a bit.

Oracle8 on Linux is free (no source though), isn't it? MySQL and others
(Post) could also be used (free the source!). Not sure what the performance
ratio between MySQL and Oracle/Sybase is.
Beginning to think a RDBMS for submissions and maintenance with DNS for
queries is going to be the best way to handle this.
