No. All access to the Lustre servers have to go through a Lustre client. It sounds like you need to scale up with more Lustre clients (aka gridftp servers). Whether gridftp as a service supports growth through parallelization or not, I have no idea. Typically with services that don't, something like round-robin DNS can be used to spread load. Other techniques can be used to make an IP service that is not natively parallel provide parallel access. b.
