Yes, I think this would be a good thing in any case.  And splitting by
layer should be relatively trivial.  Especially for transparent layers
since a server for those does not need to worry about the oceantiles
stuff.

server.tah should still act as primary upload server and it can then
hand off some layers to secondary servers like maplint.tah which
should only accept uploads from the primary server.  Those secondary
servers can be fairly dumb.  They just need to accept uploads from the
primary, put the files in the right spot and serve tiles.  They don't
even need a database.

This all should not be too complicated to implement.
