I completely understand, but here is a simple design that shouldn't be too bad to implement:
* iTunes plugin for the server machine that grabs the WOL info
* when netTunes connects to the iTunes server that info is transmitted and stored in netTunes
* then when someone fires up netTunes, you run the simple WOL perl script (that is really easy to find) and the machine will wake right up.

Easy peasy!!
