Now is a good time to bring up routing, if we're going to start talking
about core functionality. A couple of issues with our current "routing" spec
were brought up in the channel by a lurker on our list.

a) How are we handling vhosts?
b) How are we multiple hosts?
c) What about systems that cannot be contacted directly? Can we setup a
Jabber Server->Jabber Server routing system?
d) Will we support a Jabber DNS extension. The particular lurker happened to
be an admin over at disneyonline and said that "MX" records were a god-send
for him. Can we create the same thing for Jabber? ("IX" was suggested.) This
could handle domain issues on both support and centralization.
