It would be neat to explore this, but I'm afraid either of these would
cut into beanstalk's speed significantly. Maybe it wouldn't be too
much of a hit for persistent mode.

I like the idea of arriving at some best practices for client writers,
but even if a client doesn't follow them, there shouldn't be too much
of a conflict (at least no more than you'd get on a single beanstalkd
instance already). So I feel like 2 and 3 can go together.

This is an awesome idea. I think it would be best done at the IP
layer, though. A smart switch or router could do it transparently. I
don't know if such a thing exists already, but I wouldn't be surprised
if IOS has such a feature somewhere. Or maybe some fancy iptables
rules and some glue to automate them. This could also be used for a
super-fast http load balancer.
