Think of "server level" things like this. That's what the server scope is for. We use it to cache several registry entries we've set such as server names (ID on our network, not speciffically the server name), environments (for example "dev,int,tst,prod"), and architecture (firewall positioning, etc). The kind of stuff that's applicable to anything that runs on the box.
