Based upon the point of clusters not being in synchrony (data
replication and IP-geolocation-based load-balancing comes immediately

Just wait: some day the Green folks will claim that high amounts
of email using googolplexes of processor cycles worldwide, leading to
greater carbon emissions, is a leading cause of global warming. I'd
