[hobbit] Loadbalancing Hobbit Server

Is this leading the way to a hot-cold or hot-hot HA setup?  I understand how
one server could distribute jobs to a farm.  But what if the central server
goes down?  If data is sync'ed throughout the environement how could the
'freshest' be guaranteed through failures?

I am looking to implement a HA Hobbit solution where 10 minutes of recovery
is acceptable while preserving historical data.

Are you just writing 'load sharing logic' or do you plan on developing
failover/recovery logic as well?
