Let's see if I can explain this better. It could be that the functionality that I am asking for is already implemented but I have not found this in any documentation. Let assume there are 100 users connected to Jabber.com and another 100 users connected to Jabber.org. There is a user 'John' connected to Jabber.com. Now, there is an important conference at a room hosted by jabber.org called 'dev-conf'. So, all the 200 users connected to the room at Jabber.org. Now 'John' sends 'Hi' to the room. So, the Jabber.com server will send the 'Hi' message to 'dev-conf' at Jabber.org. What does the conference room do now - a) Sends out 200 messages out to all the users connected or b) Sends out 101 messages (100 messages to it locally connected users and 1 message to the proxy room at Jabber.com) Can someone who understands the conference part answer the above question. If the answer is b, then I think we can expand the similar concept to external IM systems. If the answer is a, then there is a scalability problem for Information distribution. Side topic - How does SIP handle this. This concept is present in IRC where they have S2S connections and where channels can span across multiple servers.
