*nod* I had considered that as well, but it seemed to add an
unnecessary extra layer... down the line you need to handle those
connections, each connection using some of your resources.

I was thinking more along the lines of having a gateway server
redirect new connections to an approriate server for handling, which
would distribute the load from there.  I guess that would be similar
to the "searching for fastest server" of Blizzard's battle.net
