+So the WS is (or can be?) a load-balancer to all the FES in a given world ?

+IMHO, as said in the other mail, the client should then disconnect from the
+LS ; not before. The downside I see in this case would be the extended time of
+connection (steps 11 et 13), which will lead to more network load. I don't see
+how important that would be.
+
+&gt;<i> Side notes
+</I>&gt;<i> ----------
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Whenever a world starts, the WS establishes a permanent link with the LS,
+</I>&gt;<i> using an encrypted link (it is assumed that the LS and WS are located on two
+</I>&gt;<i> physically and probably geographically distinct networks). A 'SHARD' message
+</I>&gt;<i> serves as authentification, and the WS then updates the LS with its state,
+</I>&gt;<i> name and IP address. The WS may have a list of valid IP/port address for WS
+</I>&gt;<i> to avoid the occasional pirate server registration.
+</I>
+ok, so i should have read the whole document before arguing ;-))
+
+Hope this helps..
