Ahh, okay.  Cool.  I knew that there was a hashing scheme, but I had 
thought the intent was to use that for allowing multiple queue 
runners for each queue, on a single machine.  I wasn't aware that the 
same mechanism would be used for splitting the queues across servers 
via NFS -- allowing you to avoid the locking problems I mentioned 
earlier.

Cool.
