[Dxspider-support] Load Balancing

[Tim Tuck]

Hi Kin,

All good points, so you could set up nodes with multiple callsigns, and 
use rsync to only share what can be shared. Not an ideal solution but 
there are possibilities.

Mind you , from a users perspective, its real easy to switch between 
nodes so I really think load balancing is not something we really need 
to worry about.🙂

cheers

Tim
