Yes, but you now control both ends of the network connection between the
upload servers and the server running the validator, meaning you can
tune it to saturate the link without dropping packets, therefore
maximizing the usage of your resources.
These kind of buffering between the client and the validator is exactly
the mechanism you need to smooth out the upload spikes, and to hide your
internal problems from the clients.
