Would that my skills as a DBA were even as good as those as a systems 
administrator :)  There are at least some peices in place to enable a return of 
an online netperf results database.  In particular, the "omni" tests of netperf 
have a keyval output format that should be easy to parse into a database, and 
include many, perhaps even most, though not all of the interesting 
characteristics of the test.

The fun part is creating the database and the input scripts/whatnot.

happy benchmarking
