Create a peer to peer network of Cameo servers

With the existence of Cameo servers running on different computers, it becomes easy to create a peer to peer network of Cameo servers.

The first thing is to create the links between Cameo servers. It will be done in the configuration file or programmatically for a more dynamic way. The link is twoway so that when a server attaches another one, both become available for the other one.

A simple API update can provides interesting features:

• Server.getLinkedServerList(): ServerList

ServerList:

• start(...): same interface than Server (add a special interface for common Server and ServerList?)
• connect(...): same interface than Server
• ...
• iterator(): ServersIterator. The ServersIterator class provides a dynamic iteration from the closest to the furthest (for node distance).

Load balancing is not implemented in the API: a simple start can be used: if it fails then try another server. The failure can happen if the application can only run once and is already running. Generalize the attribute multiple to have a maximum fixed number of instances?

Provide a load factor or simply let the client code do it?

Features must be simple. Complexity shoud be implemented in the client code.
