Yep, "snsd" or some such.

The load balancing bit isn't really a problem,  a brute force approach
works pretty well with balancing ZideStore since it is stateless and
even if you miss fire occasionally (hit a busy server) the requests are
typically pretty small.   The question is how to best (and safely) make
them all see the same storage (defaults, documents, etc...)
