I would say that based on vrt's presentation of the
crippled mode components that there is no reason the system
should be limited to a single media slave or one
slave perhost.
As I understand it we have a client program which can run
on any host. This client uses the rpc to communciate
with the standard slave process. It seems that it would be
simple for it to direct requests to any slave anywhere
in the ABS domain.
