directing all simultaneous connections from one identified client to the
same physical server doesn't sound terribly hard.
heck, actually, why would one even open multiple connections? it doesn't
sound like a hard thing to tunnel multiple requests through one

for that matter.

i did imagine that case. but somehow i just couldn't construct an
actually useful scenario where the parts of a *single* atomic commit
would have to be pushed to *different* servers.
