Also thinking about this. Maybe we should create an RFE for an oVirt 
smartproxy... Like we have with The Foreman.

The proxy will handle all the local Datacenter things and the central 
engine the gui etc.

Currently we plan one ovirt per Datacenter or a dedicated management 
link between two DC's.
