  Currently, no.  In the future, yes.  Basically, we could come up with 
a 'master/slave' relationship, so you could have three jservers running.  One 
would be a master, who would accept no user connections directly, but simply 
serve to route incoming messages, etc, to the proper 'slave' jserver, running 
on one of 'X' machines..

         EtherX
         / |  \
        /  |   \
       /   |    \
       S   M     S
       |         |
       C         C

  M = Master jserver
  S = Slave jserver
  C = Client Connections

   In this method, the 'work' would be distributed across potentially 3 
machines, one simply routing, and dealing with incoming data, and the others, 
client connections, and 'outgoing' data..
