[JDEV] Jabber load balancing

[Tyron Stading]

Can someone tell me how many users Jabber is able to support?

Is the socket connection persistent?

How does the routing for the name resolution work? (i.e.- if 
person at jabber.org is at person at server1.jabber.org (because of load 
balancing), how would that message be able to reach that person)

I am trying to develop a clustering of these servers, but I needed to know 
more about how things worked (and I couldn't find anything on the Web 
site).  Thanks for your help in advance.
