would there be any chance the functionality of using the contents of 
kickstart_sys for rebuilding using koan rather than kickstart? Alas 
things are not as simple as scripting a cobbler edit as once deployed 
into the stack, these machines are basically application stacks, then 
when and what they get rebuilt to is handled by another process that is 
local to a box on the stack and so only has access to koan. It seems to 
me that koan/cobbler has the info available to it, ie kickstart_sys, 
however it seems to not make use of it?

thanks
