Ok, cool.

The QueryServer used to be a component that was seeded with a set of initial 
Profile Server 
endpoints, and then used those Profile Server end points to crawl a directed 
graph of resources,
either automatically or interactively. As it consumed the resources, it looked 
for:

* Other Profile Servers -- to add more nodes to crawl (pointed at other 
resources)
* Product Servers -- to download and package products from
* raw URLs -- to download and package products from

If you want to deploy on 3 nodes, the typical model now:

* web grid on each node, running on a Java app server (e.g., Tomcat)
* deploy Profile Handler on 2nd node web grid
* deploy Product Handler on 3rd node web grid
* (optionally) deploy handlers on 1st node
* contact 2nd and 3rd node prof/prod server directly via 
Prof/Prod client or via cURL/wget, etc.

Cheers,
Chris
