In principle, upload servers should be able to share storage, or not. This feature was put in for CPDN, which at one point planned to have several upload servers scattered around the world.
However (now that I think about it) there's a flaw in the current design: when the client reports a completed result to the server, it doesn't say which upload URL was used successfully. So the backend daemons (e.g. validator) wouldn't know which upload server to get the file from. -- D Mark Pottorff wrote: > So, am I correct with the assumption that if multiple upload servers are > used, that they are all presumed to be on the same storage network, or server > code would need customization to cross check with all upload servers to > respond to the file size queries?
