yes this sounds like interesting strategy. i was thinking to make it
more automagic - like every server has a number of connectors that would
listen to incoming data and server decides which connector to use for
every incoming remote link balancing the load of every connector. 

but hinting can help - actually at the connection establishing time
server knows nothing about the load - that's what one could hint. 

something along these lines
