    That would make one large distributed tile server, but the issue is
    getting inbound connections to those T@H users running behind
    firewalls.  They can connect OUT to get work and again to push the
    results out to a central server, but anyone that needs a tile would
    a) have to know who has it (central server index hit most likely),
    and b) get a connection INTO the renderer that has the tile.  <br>
