I don't have much comment right on the other points, they make sense.
However I strongly disagree on this one point. No protocol/client
changes would really be needed at all unless it was distributed over
separate physical servers (which I don't think is necessary to
support). Like I said in another email, it's not hard for one process
to "hand-off" TCP-IP sockets to another process while keeping it open.
