  Not exactly, at the moment.  You can have thousands of servers serving up 
email for the same domain, which is not currently the case under Jabber.  This 
leads to a finite number of users on one server, in one domain.  As an example, 
you may read your mail, and mail.isp.com connects to one of several servers.  
Right now, jabber.isp.com is limited to *one* server.
