I like this idea... but how are you going to send the Wake-on-LAN
packet? As the name implies, it has to come from the LAN... even
VPN won't carry it. You could VPN/VNC or SSH into a computer on the
LAN and have it send the magic packet... except that computer has
to be on/awake to be reachable. Seems like a chicken and egg problem.
If you're only able to get in remotely, your routers, firewall and
such should (most likely) come back after the power is up. Not every
box on a site has to be an XServe. Typically, I'll stick an OBSD box
somewhere on site, just for the purpose of being able to ssh in. I
can send WOL from there. You can apply similar tactics.
