I was curious if there was any "out of the box" support to run Vysper in a
distributed mode.  From the looks of the code, I didn't think so, but I'm
not 100% sure.  If I were to hack the internals of the server to support
this where would be a good place to start?  From looking over the code, I
see that there's a few different places worth looking (Specifically
StazaRelayBroker).

Specifically I noticed that there's StanzaRelayBroker which uses some logic
to determine whether or not a stanza should be delivered to a local
session, or to another XMPP server.  Unless, of course, there is some logic
I'm not understanding properly it appears that out of the box Vysper will
only operate as a single node.  Is this correct?

I suspect if it were possible to cluster the server (and it's already not
supported), we'd need to know the actual IP of the other node to which that
user is connected as the normal operation just will use the external stanza
relay to deliver the stanza to the actual node the user is on.  The
presence of each user could be stored in something like Terracotta and then
add an intermediate relay which would deliver the stanza to the actual node
in the cluster.  Has this been tried before?
