How cute. Undocumented in the man pages supplied by Debian.

I don't see why network load would differ much; most of the load is
likely to be in X protocol transmission, given the specified central
login server model. (Or are you talking about something else with
your NFS architecture?) The chooser, xdm, login traffic, and so on is
a very small part of that.

Steve should keep in mind the fact that Linux servers tend to
proliferate like gerbils since they're cheap, efficient to network,
and easy to set up, though. Then network traffic will be a serious
consideration in thinking about expansion patterns.
