Yes, that would be necessary.  It should be async on the server side.

Yes, the server definitely needs to be smart enough to identify multiple 
connections from the same client, and this also needs to be distributed.  E.g., 
if client C is connected to 2 server nodes S1 and S2, we don't want both S1 and 
S2 to send back the same notification,

Also, what are your thoughts around batching notifications?
