Hi,

I've been talking to a friend who has written an online game and said he
needs a server, I offered to help out.

So, I've been thinking about it and not only would Ada be a great choice
for a normal server, I was thinking about the distributed annex, and using
that to balance the load over to more servers as they get added/needed.

Can anyone advise on whether this is a good thing to do? What to avoid (if
anything), tip, tricks, etc?

Thanks,
Luke.
