[JDEV] server performance questions

[Robert Thompson]

The question below leads me to ask:

Is is possible to link 2 Linux Server's together to serve as 1 JServer?

Essentially, I'm asking is all the various functionality can continue to
function as one unit and scale to handle more and more users by adding
server.
