My current plan was to do both :-)
The server as always is stand-alone java.
The client just connects to 127.0.0.1,
remote clients are welcomed to join using
host/ip. Bots (balls) and Agents will
connect locally.
Then Cross-Wire the servers using JXTA or
some rumor mongering algorithm that
somehow knows about portal nodes. This way
the Servers talk to each other they can send
users back and forth. The hard part is reloading
the correct new worlds. I'd like to hear more
about the meet3d.org, work as they seem to have
"glowing blue" portals that seem like they do
some loading??
