Any ideas that can help in scalability are welcome. If we can use a pool of cheap PCs to build a scalable jabber network, then even more valuable then having One big Server with Gigs of memory. This will require some changes in the Jabber protocol. The MSN protocol does something like this, but takes this one step ahead by letting you connect to any server in the pool, which then refers you to the right server that can authenticate you. If you make logging in a two-step process, you can solve this problem but that would mean changing all the Jabber clients and also the S2S communication in the Jabber server. Anyway, this is an area that the Jabber server developers are the best folks to comment on.
