that's all part of clustering, which we have deferred for now. we
actually started building a lot of the clustering framework a couple of
years ago, but ran out of time. we had it working in an alpha state for
a while. earlier this year we decided to rip clustering out in favour of
doing a solid ActionScript 3.0, NIO, hibernate overhaul. but we still
have our eye on clustering for the future.

ps. did you resolve your policy port issue? if not, hopefully derek will
be able to offer some advice tomorow...
