Hi folks, I'm a bit new to this world and developing my first applications 
using XMPP external components according to XEP-0114. I'm using Whack to 
develop the components themselves and Ejabberd as my server. I'm not looking 
for specific help using either of those technologies, rather trying to 
understand if the behavior I'm seeing is expected and if not, which side the 
problem is on. Here's the story:

1) Ejabberd allows multiple subdomains to be registered as external components 
using a single port and secret key.
2) Whack allows a single "component manager" to handle multiple components 
using that single port and key.

So far, so good. However:

3) Ejabberd assumes after a successful handshake that the component in question 
should handle traffic to *all* permitted subdomains for that port, regardless 
of the "to" value sent in the "stream:stream" packet, and registers internal 
routes for all of them. But,
4) Whack creates a new connection for each component you wish to register, 
assuming it will receive traffic for only that component's subdomainh .

So, what ends up happening is that for each packet destined for any of the 
listed subdomains, Ejabberd picks one of the connected components at random. 

I'm hoping that one of these two pieces is doing something wrong, and I'd like 
to know which one so I can pursue it further. Or, if I'm making a bad 
assumption and it is expected that my components should be able to handle 
packets intended for each other, that would be good to know too :)

thanks,
Dan
