I think there could be a nice way to split the load between two or more servers, at least for serving tiles without much overhead. Does someone already work on it or should I'll try to do it? Anyway the idea is to make a small publish-subscribe API, so when a server gets new tiles from a client it sends a message to all subscribers with the appropriate coordinates and layers, which they download from the master server. To ease up bootstraping, they could issue a HTTP 307 or 300 code in case a requested tile isn't on it and download it in the background so no further redirects will be needed. Heck, this could even open up the way for region based servers...
