Sorry to continue this conversation, but I'd like to clarify some
implementation details.

If I have two hobbit servers, and one bbproxy server which transmits the
data to both hobbit servers, and of course multiple bb clients behind
the bbproxy.

Do I need to update *both* hobbit servers, or could I only upgrade one
hobbit server, and the bbproxy, and bbproxy would be capable of
compressing received updates, and forwarding them to the compression
capable server, and forwarding the uncompressed updates to the older server?

Also, how do old hobbit clients, or bb windows clients, or hobbit
windows clients behave when behind the bbproxy? Would I need to upgrade
each client for it's updates to be compressed, or will bbproxy handle
that for me?

Thanks,
Adam
