Please look at the notes on this in the TODO and protocol-3.txt documents in the source distribution.
Unfortunately, protocol-3.txt isn't in the current release, and you don't have a web gateway set up so we can look at the arch repository yet.
Is this a clever ploy to get us to install the arch client? :-)
For what it's worth, I suspect that two simple changes -- randomizing the host list and (at least with the forking server) dropping connection on high load average -- would measurably improve performance on a shared cluster of workstations doubling as distcc servers without any protocol changes. If Josh and I get a chance, we'll give those little tweaks a try.
Since some people rely on the host list not being randomized,
this would have to be optional somehow, I suppose.
Likewise, the load average check should probably be
controlled by a server commandline option.
